I'm a Christian but I love muslims. We have so much in common. My wish is before I die is to see Christians and Muslims come to peace with each other.
God Bless you!

This is not a question. You are doing that same preachy thing that the bible thumps do.
Yes, Have studied Islam and read along with an Arabic reader various parts of the Koran. I have asked many questions of a Shaikh who has a doctorate in comparative religions.
There are certain parts of Islam that I have happily included into my own way of being, like doing good deeds. But the final result is that I reject all religion and choose to honor God/Allah
in a way that has no human intervention. your prophet, Jesus, believed that praying should be done between the person and God alone. He preferred going into a quiet Pasteur and meditating on God. This, to me is a better way of seeking the Truth and being close to the creator.
The best worshiping is done by being loving, having integrity and kindness' having honesty and patience, etc. Formalized praying, to me is man-made ritual.
all that being said, I wish I could find a good excuse to do the Hajj. It looks like a life-changing experience bar none.

Maybe the reason that I havent considered The Qur'an is become Islam is a made up religion. I can actually picture the meeting right now. Some dude named Mohammed and couple of other guys were sitting around in the middle of a desert hell-hole a few centuries ago and said:
Mohammed:"Well, what kind of religion should we have?"
Ahmed: "Well-We could make a religion where women are completely subserviant to men and we can justify wars by saying its written in a book." Then, Mohammed says:
"No dude, theres already something similar to that called Christianity, and its been around for a few centuries already."
Ahmed: "So what, we'll take the a little bit of Christianity, toss in some fun stuff, change a couple of names, and that will be that!"
Mohammed:" You mean like that time in college where we faked that term paper?"
Ahmed: "Exactly!"
Mohammed: "Ok, ok, I'll go with it, but, I GET TO PLAY JESUS."
Ahmed: "Fine."
Thats probably pretty much how it went.

I have...
In plain words, the Qur’an says that one of the righteous men of God’s servants saw the sun set in a certain place of the earth—in particular a well full of water and mud. There, this man found some people. Let us read what is recorded in the Qur’an (chapter "the Cave", verse 86),
"When he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring and found a people thereabout. We said: ‘O Dhul-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness"’ (Surah 18:86).
Lest I failed to understand what the Qur’an meant by these strange words, I referred to the famous students of the Qur’an as well as to the ancient scholars. I discovered that all of them concurred with this rendering and said that Muhammad’s friends inquired about the sunset and that he gave them that answer. All the scholars such as the Baydawi, Jalalan, and Zamakhshari confirm it. The Zamakhshari remarks in his book, "the Kash-shaf",
"Abu Dharr (one of Muhammad’s close companions) was with Muhammad during the sunset. Muhammad asked him: ‘Do you know, O Abu Dharr where this sets?’ He answered: ‘God and His apostle know better.’ Muhammad said: ‘It sets in a spring of slimy water"’ (3rd Edition, Volume 2 p. 743,1987).

This does not differentiate the Koran from any other religious texts. Evangelical Christians claim the Bible to be the Word of God, Mormons claim the Book of Mormon to be "the most true book." The Koran claims the same thing, but so do all religious texts.

I read the Koran regularly.
It does not really have any meaningful effects on me spiritually.
Have you read the Vedas ?, The Upanishads, The New Testament ?
Those books wont tell you what to do... Yet will inspire you to become who you are with deep meaning and provide guidance into understanding how you can unite with the (one) God.

You can find in the Quran many mistakes. Denying Christ, for example.

The Holy Qur'an is the truth, but many will only follow their parents even though their parents did not have this information.
