Muslims too believe that there is only one GOD but they also believe that GOD has no father, nor does He have any child. This is where muslims are different from the Christians. Muslims also believe in Jesus and respect him. They treat him as a great prophet. They even accept the existence of Bible but they believe that Quran is the complete code of conduct with the best and gist from the three previous holy books - taurat, jabur and injil (bible).
Chrisitans, on the other hand, believe Jesus was the son of God. Logically, can God have a child? God is not like human. He can send his representatives but can we call someone, literally, to be God's child?
In ancient Bible, the existence of one last prophet was mentioned which has not been preached by the Christian priests. Muslmis believe that Jesus wanted to be back in the world to preach for Muhammed and so he will resurrect. Christians believe in his resurrection too but they do not reason it the way the Muslim does.

Although that does not apply for all Christians , it is true for the great majority. The faith of the Muslims was developed after that of the Christians as well that of the Christians was developed after the Jewish faith. The Jewish people still await for the Messiah , for the Christians that was Jesus and for them it ends there , for the Muslims Jesus was a prophet but not the son of god as it applies for the Christians, also Mohammad is added as the greatest prophet, while in christian faith he does not appear, as Jesus does not appear in the Jewish faith and he is not accepted by the Jewish as well. Each of these religions has parts of the preceding one , but expands the base it came from. So each preceding religion does not accept an other religion that adds faces, events and beliefs to their religion. It is a matter of circles that contain each other. Like this pattern -> ( M ( C ( J ))). Of course I do not say that the religion that was developed after or before an other is better, since it is a matter of humans to decide which is the best religion for them and helps them reach a "higher level of spirituality".

Wait a second, Ms. Maria.
You said that Muslims believe and accept Jesus but you were purposefully vague. You're setting up a straw man argument. What do you believe and accept Jesus as? Nothing but a prophet! Jesus is a prophet and more, He is the Son of God.

The Muslims accept Jesus not as God but as one of the prophets of Allah. Mohammed was never revealed by God as His Prophet.

It's because Christians believe that there is only one great God. Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God and not a prophet. :)

You don't believe in and accept Jesus for who he actually was, the Son of God. You demoted him to a mere prophet. It's very easy to say that Jesus was only a great man, a great teacher, even a lot of atheists will say that.

Because Whatever Christians said we should believe in Jesus (PBUH) as a prophet of God, this is part of our religion
also Christians believe in moses and Jews disbelieve in Jesus,, it is the same,,, the next real religions believe in previous ones

There are historical reasons for that. Generally, when a religion gets down to writing its 'revelations' in book form, they close the door on new 'revelation' and consider anyone who comes after to be false prophets.
Muhammad came along 600 years after Jesus and Islam is very much 'following in the footsteps' of Christianity. After Muhammad came Baha'ullah (sp?), who was very much following in the footsteps of Islam. You might ask why Muslims don't want to hear about Baha'i.

Cause they believe that there is just their prophet but we believe in many prophets. We believe that all the prophets religion is Islam. But they changed bible so Allah sent prophet Mohammad to teach everybody Islam.

We Muslim believe in Jesus(PBUH) because he was a prophet so was Muhammad (PBUH). As for christian they believe that Jesus was the son of god and Muhammad was born and raised as a Muslim he's not mentioned in the bible.
