Islam reject all the basic pillars of christianity like the trinity,divinity of jesus, the crucifixion, the death of jesus,his resurrection.etc the similarities you mentioned is only for the fact that both Islam and christianity are from thesame culture hearth ( the Eiddle East)

[19. Maryam, Verse 34]
That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute
[19. Maryam, Verse 35]
It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, Be, and it is.[19. Maryam, Verse 36]
[Jesus said], And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him.
That is a straight path.
[19. Maryam, Verse 37]
Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day.
[19. Maryam, Verse 39]
And warn them, [O Muhammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded; and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.


2) DEATH AND CRUCIFIXION
[4. An-Nisa, Verse 157]
And [for] their saying, Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah . And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.
[4. An-Nisa, Verse 158]
Rather, Allah raised him to Himself. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise.

3) JESUS IS NOT GOD
[5. Al-Maeda, Verse 72]
They have certainly disbelieved who say, Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary while the Messiah has said, O Children of Israel, worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord. Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.

4) TRINITY[5.
Al-Maeda, Verse 73]
They have certainly disbelieved who say, Allah is the third of three. And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.

5) ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
[5. Al-Maeda, Verse 116]
And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?' He will say, Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.
[5. Al-Maeda, Verse 117]
I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness.
[5. Al-Maeda, Verse 118]
If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

they will never understand they are deaf dumb and blind (holy Quran 2:18)

Op why do you bother yourself to tell them the truth while they are:
DEAF DUMB AND BLIND THEY WILL NOT RETURN TO THE RIGHT PATH
( holy Quran 2:18)

the message is even more clear in the book deuteronomy( 18:18) where God said he will raise a prophet like moses from among the brothers of the jews which are the arabs and he shall speak what unto them all what I command him.

No one I repeat no will read a single chapter from the holy Quran and still doubt that it is not from the lord of the universe unless he fall on the category of people aforementioned people.

PrecisionFx:
All Abrahamic religions have Trinity, 3 multiple God's

[5. Al-Maeda, Verse 72]
They have certainly disbelieved who say, Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary while the Messiah has said, O Children of Israel, worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord. Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.

Israeli rabbis launch war on Christmas tree Jerusalem hotels receive warning letter noting that Jewish religious law forbids Christmas trees and new year's parties. The Technion university's rabbi has ordered that Jewish students boycott their student union after it installed a modest Christmas tree [Firas Espanioly/Al Jazeera] Jonathan Cook Tell us what you think tay Informed Subscribe to our newsletletter ” Hanna Swaid, former legislator Nazareth - As tens of thousands of Christian pilgrims converge on the Holy Land this week to celebrate the birth of Jesus, senior Israeli rabbis have announced a war on the Christmas tree. In Jerusalem, the rabbinate has issued a letter warning dozens of hotels in the city that it is "forbidden" by Jewish religious law to erect a tree or stage new year's parties. Many hotel owners have taken the warning to heart, fearful that the rabbis may carry out previous threats to damage their businesses by denying them certificates declaring their premises to be "kosher". In the coastal city of Haifa, in northern Israel, the rabbi of Israel's premier technology university has taken a similarly strict line. Elad Dokow, the Technion's rabbi, ordered that Jewish students boycott their students' union, after it installed for the first time a modest Christmas tree. He called the tree "idolatry", warning that it was a "pagan" symbol that violated the kosher status of the building, including its food hall. READ MORE: Gaza's Christians - 'Israel can't beat us down' About a fifth of the Technion's students belong to Israel's large Palestinian minority. While most of Israel's Palestinian citizens are Muslim, there are some 130,000 Christians, most of them living in Galilee. More Palestinian Christians live under occupation in East Jerusalem, which Israel has annexed in violation of international law. "This is not about freedom of worship," Dokow told the Technion's students. "This is the world's only Jewish state. And it has a role to be a 'light unto the nations' and not to uncritically embrace every idea." Rabea Mahajni, a 24-year-old electrical engineering student, said that placing the tree in the union was backed by Palestinian students but had strongly divided opinion among Jewish students and staff. The majority, he said, were against the decision. "One professor upset [Palestinian] students by taking to Facebook to say that the tree made him uncomfortable, and that those who wanted it should either put one up in their own home or go to Europe," he told Al Jazeera. Tensions with Israel overshadow Christmas in Palestine Mahajni added: "This is not really about a Christmas tree. It is about who the tree represents. It is a test of whether Jewish society is willing to accept an Arab minority and our symbols." He pointed out that Palestinian students had not objected to the students' union also marking Hanukkah, referring to the Jewish winter "festival of lights" that this year coincides with Christmas. For most of Israel's history, the festive fir tree was rarely seen outside a handful of communities in Israel with significant Christian populations. But in recent years, the appeal of Christmas celebrations has spread among secular Israeli Jews. Interest took off two decades ago, after one million Russian-speaking Jews immigrated following the fall of the Soviet Union, said David Bogomolny, a spokesman for Hiddush, which lobbies for religious freedom in Israel. Many, he told Al Jazeera, had little connection to Jewish religious practice in their countries of origin, and had adopted local customs instead. "The tree [in the former Soviet Union] was very popular but it had nothing to do with Christmas," he said. "Each home had one as a way to welcome in the new year." Nazareth, which claims to host the tallest Christmas tree in the Middle East, has recently become a magnet for many domestic tourists, including Jews, Christians and Muslims. They come to visit the Christmas market, hear carols and buy a Santa hat. Haifa and Jaffa, two largely Jewish cities with significant Palestinian Christian populations, have recently started competing. Jaffa, next to Tel Aviv, staged its first Christmas market last year. READ MORE: Violence hurts Bethlehem's Christmas tourism business Meanwhile, hotels are keen to erect a tree in their lobbies as a way to boost tourism revenue from Christian pilgrims, who comprise the bulk of overseas visitors. But the growing popularity of Christmas has upset many Orthodox rabbis, who have significant powers over public space. Bogomolny said that some rabbis were driven by a desire to make the state "as Jewish as possible" to avert it losing its identity. Others may fear that the proliferation of Christmas trees could lure Israeli Jews towards Christianity. Wadie Abu Nassar, a spokesman for the Latin Patriarch in Jerusalem, said that he had noticed an increasing interest from Israeli Jews in Christian festivals, including in some cases requests to attend Christmas mass. He told Al Jazeera this was not a threat to Judaism, but healthy curiosity. "If we want to live together in peace, we have to understand each other and learn to trust," he said. Given this hostile political climate, the battle to gain legitimacy for our religious symbols becomes all the more important. Otherwise we face a dark future. The controversial status of Christmas in Israel was underscored four years ago when Yair Netanyahu, the 21-year-old son of Israel's prime minister, caused a minor scandal by being photographed wearing a Santa hat next to a Christmas tree. The office of Benjamin Netanyahu hurriedly issued a statement saying that Yair had posed as a joke while attending a party hosted by "Christian Zionists who love Israel, and whose children served in the [Israeli army]". Two years earlier, Shimon Gapso, the mayor of Upper Nazareth, originally founded for Jews on Nazareth's land, banned all signs of Christmas in the city's public places. He has been a vociferous opponent of an influx of Christians from overcrowded Nazareth. The Israeli parliament, the Knesset, has also been declared a Christmas tree-free zone. In 2013, its speaker rejected a request from Hanna Swaid, then a Palestinian Christian legislator, to erect a tree in the building. Yuli Edelstein said it would evoke "painful memories" of Jewish persecution in Europe and chip away at the state's Jewish character. Swaid pointed to the prominence of Jewish symbols in public spaces in the United States, including an annual Hanukkah party at the White House, during which the president lights menorah candles. "Israeli leaders expect the US to be religiously inclusive, but then they refuse to practise the same at home," he told Al Jazeera. He also noted that the religious freedoms of the Palestinian minority were under ever greater attack, most notably with the recent drafting of a so-called "muezzin bill", which would crack down on mosques' use of loudspeakers for the call to prayer. "Given this hostile political climate, the battle to gain legitimacy for our religious symbols becomes all the more important," he said. "Otherwise we face a dark future." READ MORE: Jewish leader demands expulsion of 'Christian vampires' Nonetheless, there has been a backlash, especially from secular Jews, against the rigid control exercised by Orthodox rabbis. Haifa's mayor, Yona Yahav, overruled the city's rabbi in 2012 when he tried to ban Christmas trees and new year's parties. The Jewish new year occurs several months before the Christian one. And last year, in the face of a legal challenge from Hiddush, the chief rabbinate backed down on threats to revoke the kosher certificates of businesses that celebrate Christmas . But while the ban on Christmas trees has been formally lifted, in practice it is still widely enforced, according to Bogomolny. "The problem is that the chief rabbinate actually has no authority over city rabbis, who can disregard its rulings, as we have seen with the letter issued by the Jerusalem rabbis," he said. Most hotels wanted to ignore the prohibition on Christmas trees because it was bad for business, but feared being punished. "It is a problem throughout the country," he said. "The hotels are afraid to take a stand. If they try to fight it through the courts, it will be costly and could take years to get a ruling." One hotel manager in West Jerusalem to whom Al Jazeera spoke on condition of anonymity said he feared "retaliation" from the rabbis. "The letter was clearly intended to intimidate us," he said. "The Christian tourists are here to celebrate Christmas and we want to help them do it, but not if it costs us our certificate." Source: Al Jazeera

Tourists and local Christians gather in
birthplace of Jesus to mark Christmas Eve
despite hurdles of the occupation

Thousands of pilgrims and tourists from
around the world together with local Christians
have gathered in the biblical town of
Bethlehem in the occupied Palestinian territory
of West Bank to celebrate Christmas Eve in the
traditional birthplace of Jesus.
Security was tight in Bethlehem on Saturday
after recent deadly attacks on Christian targets
in neighbouring Egypt and Jordan by armed
fighters.
Yet the faithful braved the chilly weather
outside the town's Manger Square as
traditional Christmas songs like Jingle Bells
played in Arabic over loudspeakers and scout
groups paraded with bagpipes and sang carols.
Tourists and local Christians alike wandered
around the square illuminated by festive red
and golden lights and a large Christmas tree,
visiting souvenir shops and restaurants.

Christmas festivities have brought a boost of
holiday cheer to Christians in the Holy Land,
who make up just a small percentage of the
population.
The region has experienced a wave of Israeli-
Palestinian bloodshed that erupted over a year
ago. The violence has tapered off in recent
months, but has not halted completely.
Al Jazeera's Andrew Simmons, reporting from
Bethlehem, said there was a mood of optimism
among the Palestinians there after the UN
Security Council passed a resolution on Friday
calling for an end to illegal Israeli settlements.
He said the Palestinians he met there were
thankful for the move.
"Just down the road from the Church of the
Nativity, there is a settlement of 25,000 Israeli
homes," he said.
"Palestinians say it stands in the way of
Bethlehem and the occupied East Jerusalem.
That they say is an obstacle to peace."
Despite the cheer, Middle East politics loom
large in the background [Majdi Mohammed/
AP]
Rula Maaya, the Palestinian tourism minister,
said all the hotels in Bethlehem are fully
booked.
"Bethlehem is celebrating today. We are
receiving tourists from all over the world," she
said.
"All people over the world are looking at
Bethlehem, so we hope more and more tourists
will come during the year and that, next year,
we will celebrate Christmas without
occupation."
Despite the Christmas cheer, Middle East
politics looms large in the background: the
concrete barrier that surrounds parts of
Bethlehem is just one prominent reminder.
It was built by Israel last decade during the
second intifada, or uprising, when Palestinian
bombers attacked buses and cafes.
Israeli says the barrier is meant to keep out
such attackers, but because it dips inside the
West Bank, Palestinians see it as a land grab
that also stunts their economy.

Famous4real:
Muslims calls jesus prophet and christians calls jesus son of God.which one is true

Do you really think it is befitting for the creator of the universe to begets a son?

Amberon:
Why do you people convulse with the fact that our God is a triune being.

1 John 5: 7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father , the Word , and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

Why does Allah refer to himself as "we" if he isn't triune? is he a paranoid schizophrenic with imaginary friends? Oh wait, hes the counterfeiter that always counterfeits everything the living God does.

That is how you messed your religion and make it the most confused religion on Earth.for your information there are two plurals in Arabic and Hebrew 1 plural of Number and 2 plural of respect

more

Example

No matter how we try to convince them about Islam they will not believe,because they think Muhammad(SAW) was the author of the holy Quran.I was even wondering to see that most of Antiislam nairalanders have read many verses of the Quran.Please how can you read the Holy Quran twice and still believe that the book is not from the our creator? How?.that's why I believe christians are the most confused among the abrahimic religions ,some will tell you that "God is three yet one " some will say No, many cotradiction

but the bible was dictate by God word by word

something is wrong

more

[b][/b]There are many more like these

christians are really dumb.three in one God? what a blasphemy.there is only one God and jesus is his messenger,criticaly search your bible

these is the Truth you are seeking for if you understand but as usual arrogance will never let you to understand. that is why God said in the Holy Quran
DEAF DUMB AND BLIND THEY WILL NOT RETURN(TO THE PATH)
(HOLY QURAN 2:18)

Say thou ( O Muhammad to people) "I am but a man like you :it is revealed to me by inspiration, that your God is one God,so stand true to him, and ask for his forgiveness "And woe to those who join gods with God.
(Holy Quran 41:6)

They do blaspheme who say :God is one of three in a trinity :for there is no god except one God
(Holy Quran 5-6)

They do blaspheme who say:"God is christ,the son of mary."but said christ:"O children of isreal! worship God,my Lord and your lord."
(Holy Quran 5:75)

The similitude of Jesus before God is that of Adam;He created him from dust then said to him 'Be' and he was.
(holy Quran 3:59)

it is not befitting to the (majesty of)of God that He should beget a son.Glory be to Him! when he determines a matter, He only says to it,'BE' and it is.
(Holy Quran chapter Mary 19:35)

I think we can handle Iran if isreal U.S and Saudi Arabia will help us.the only problem with Iran is their proxy war, political killing and secret activities.they will secretly start killing top politicians and prominent Nigerians in Europe and middle east
