I don't think there is a lot of real alignment because the god of Islam is different from the God of Christianity. They have totally different personalities and the doctrines of the two faiths do differ so much as well. However, happy to hear other ideas.

No, Christian teaching calls for truth, the Quran says deception is okay under circumstance that it might benefit Islam.
The Christian teaching holds that salvation is a free gift of God, the Quran holds that the disciple maqy some how earn God's favor.
The Christian teaching is that there is only one Way and only one Truth and only one Life and only one true and living God (Jehovah Jirah el Shaddai). The quran teaches none of the above except one God, but it is Allah, an old dead idol from the arabian religions of days gone by.
The Christian religion teaches forgiveness and to do right, and that murder is evil.
Islam teaches that if you murder someone of another faith you get a reward.

Yes because the Islam was first the others copied the parts they liked best and added a few things or a lot of things and went from there. Each book inside any bible was written at stages and all relate to each other. But this only means that someone read the first story book and then wrote a new chapter base on what was written in the stories before.
We could do that now.. Just write a new chapter and have it added to the rest of the book. It has happen many many times. Then at a later date after we all quit believing say a couple of hundred of years. Someone will find it and rewrite it again and say this is the word of a god and here we go again.. With killings and flair ups all round the globe.. Just like now

From my understanding they are pretty much along the same lines up to the point where Jesus is born then it differs. This is down to the fact that in Quran (sp?) Jesus is a prophet and not the actual son of god. Which, interestingly enough, has now become a talking point within the Christian religion. This is due to the finding of old scriptures relating to the accumulation of the books in the bible and how they were selected (there are many more scriptures than the ones currently in our edition of the bible).
It is also argued that the divinity of Jesus was augmented by the church so that people couldn't argue about his teachings.

Absolutely not. However it does align with Catholicism since it is an invention of the Roman Catholic Church, 3rd century. The two common denominators are forced conversions (Convert or die!) and campaigns (crusades, inquisitions, jihadin) to kill Christians and Jews. Two other common denominators which tie in the the first two are the quest to bring the entire global population under religious control (dictatorship), and elevating the words of a man (the pope, Muhammed) above the truth of God's Word.

I was just reading "The Age of Faith" by Will Durrant which has several chapters on Mohammed. It is evident he had second-hand knowledge of the New Testament but he confused several issues. The names used in the Koran are confused ... Miriam is named as the mother of Jesus. Mohamed was illiterate.
Mohamed at first commanded that all Jews and Christians were free to practice their beliefs. Later caliphs of competing family bloodlines added greatly to the espounding about what exactly the Koran means. Indeed, there is nothing that suggest Mohamed wanted his proclamations/revelations written into book form.

The Quran teaches many Christian ways; however, Muslims do not practice christian ways. True Islam died with Mohammad.

Remember the Koran, and the bible are just story books written by man kind, FACT. Much would have been changed because the person writing could not understand what they were to write, parts of the bible are in correct because of the poor translation from Hebrew so I would think the same of the Koran

No, they are different. The Bible teaches remission of sins through the grace of God, by the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, who died for our sins. The Qu'ran teaches salvation based on works. The apostle Paul said "For by grace are ye saved by faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man boast." Ephesians 2:8

To a far extent, yes, but some important details are different, ie, in christianity, they say that jesus is the son of God, but in Islam, it is said that Jesus (isa) is one of the holy Prophets

To a certain extent, I think, but not completely. I hear of too many incidences where violence is incited in the Quran.
