or is it ultimately up to faith?

Both Muslims and Christians believe in the second coming of Jesus. So, when Jesus returns we'll just him who's right.
Seriously, the things I would consider is (1) which one makes more sense? and (2) was its founder of sound moral character? and (3) which one really makes the world a better place?, and (4) what are the historical contributions of each to our modern society?

If you've ever noticed, many religions including Muslim, Christianity and Judaism (many more, not listing them all) All point to close to the same thing.
They all have righteous morals and all point to some omnipotent god that is everything that is good in the world.
The question isnt Who's right, because their all saying the same stuff. The real question is "Is faith a load of garbage? Just a guide that people use to govern/punish/praise themselves?"

YES> we need to look at history. Muslims don't believe that jesus was crucified..but ancient scholars documented his crucifixtion. I point Christianity. Muslims refute the Christian gospels as being "changed" thereofre they think the prophet mohammad "corrected them". YET, we have new testament manuscripts dating to 125 a.d. which are the same as todays NEW testament!! Islam didn't exist until 500 years later! So the gospels weren't corrupted as the muslims claim. 2 pts. Christianity--0 pts. Islam. peace.

There is no way to prove it---even if you could get irrefutable evidence for one of the sides, the other will dismiss it as propaganda anyway. The only way to settle the argument, is for God (or Allah) to come to Earth and the people who are alive today can see Him and hear Him and then they would know. But that isn't going to happen, so the battle rages on.

The primary truth of Christianity is that Jesus Christ was God, part of the creater three-in-one God of the universe and the Bible. Islam (Muslims) do not believe that Jesus was God. If one thinks the Bible offers proof that Christ was divine, as I do, than one thinks that you can easily prove that Islam is a incorrect belief at the core. No doubt in my mind.

From a Theological standpoint, faith cannot be proven. Therefore those of any faith who claim absolute "rightness" are, in fact, fibbing. Faith is not fact. What can be proven by non-subjective facts is another matter altogether, but no faith that I know of (including my own) has those.

Yes Christians are right. Do you see a bunch of Christians blowing themselves up to kill people? No, because Christians embrace life. Just watch the news and you can see.

I can't find it now because I want to answer this question to the best of my knowledge and it made perfect sense to me. It started with Abraham and his family. His wife Sarah was barren, and God promised him a son from her. She laughed because she was already 90 yrs. old. They got tired of waiting so Sarah gave her maid Hagar to bed with Abraham. Hagar gave birth to a boy and named him Ishamael. Sarah was mean to Hagar and eventually made her leave the community. Sarah by the way got the promised son and named him Isaac. Jesus was to come through the Jewish bloodline but the sons of Abraham would be as many as the stars through Isaac. And that was the blessing. Hagar meanwhile was told by God that through her son there will be as many too, but through him (Arabs) he would be a wild donkey of a man and his hand will be against many and many will be against him. Now do you see what's going on? People wake up! Muhammad didn't come into the picture until 7 centuries after Christ! His youngest wife was six yrs. old. and he was a fighter.

There is no way to prove or disprove spiritual matters. People should resolve the matter for themselves. It is a very important one also. Deciding how you live your life and after life if you believe in one, is truly worth the study and reflection.

The Judeo-Christian ethic is older than Islam. And most of Islam's beliefs were just stolen from Judaism and Christianity, soo, do the math.
