    From my collegiate study I learned that all the "main" religions in the world believe in concept of one God.


    Anyhow, if this is true, God being the Creator, it seems that what happens after or from God would be the major difference(s), IMHO.

    I think you're right on that one. I dated a muslim girl and she said she could not comprehend the "holy spirit" part of the Holy Trinity. She could see, but did not agree, with the Father and Son part.

    I was wrong. Reading what I have of the Qur'an, I've seen mention made of the Holy Spirit. So VOR was correct on this question -- Muslims recognize/worship 2/3 of the Christian Trinity.

    Are there any of these that are not based on Jesus being the Son of God?

    I read once that the acceptance of ALLAH as one God came by virtue of combining many older ancient Gods...A referrence to a moon God above as the name of ALLAH is correct and that's why the moon is so prevalent in flags from Islamic states. I do believe that muslims have a belief that the Christian and Jewish God is the same as theirs, but I don't understand why there is so much difficulty attributing a special relationship between God and the Jewish people. I also happend to believe that the rise of Muhammed came about because of the significance of Christ, and the already established doctrine of the Jewish community, leading the other inhabitants of that region a need to adopt their own personal spiritual leader. Hence, the birth of Islam.

    The devil often uses corrupted versions of good things. Islam is a perversion of christianity.

    And you know this how? Have you ever read the Qur'an?

    Islam respects Jesus, it just does not recognize Him as the Christ, therefore it has little to do with Christianity. It would be more accurate to say Islam is a modified version of Judaism.

    To assert that Islam is a 'perversion of Christianity' is ignorant.

    Anyone who doubts how much Islam respects Christianity should go see Hagia Sofia. If that had been a mosque in Christian territory, it would have been torn down.
