Similarities:
1. Both are considered major religions.
2. Both have a multitude of faithful adherents.
3. Both claim their way is the TRUE way to heaven.
Differences:
1. The Koran is full of factual error, whereas the Bible has proven to be prophetical and trustworthy over time.
2. The Bible doesn't called for the destruction for unbelievers, but rather to love them. The Koran teaches its adherents to slay them.
3. Hate is spewed from Muslims, love from Christians.

Differences: 1) Christian based legal systems/societies (USA, England, France...) work Muslim law(Sharia)/society (Syria, Lebanon, Palestine...) does not. 2) If a Christian leader were to say "death to Iranians" his followers would leave him. While Muslim followers would make someone saying "Death to Americans" President. 3) Christian charities help Muslim countries. 4) Christian societies worry about Geneva Convention while Muslims behead their prisoners, burn the bodies and hang them for display. (civilized/uncivilized) 5) Many Muslims would be angry at what I wrote but will only be angry at me, a Christian. They will never, ever, be angry at other Muslims, even if what I say is the truth. Christians get mad, and disagree with other Christians all the time and debate the issues publicly. Muslims prefer to threaten and shout down the opposition. While many Muslims claim Islam is peace it is hard pressed to see this in their countries. I do not mean to offend but the Pope says Muslims are violent and they say they are not and kill a nun in Italy to prove their point. Does anybody else see how stupid this is? What do the majority of Muslims do in response? They rationalize it. That would be unacceptable for a Christian, but Muslims live by a diffrent set of rules don't they?

the three similarities:
1. They both claim to worship the God of Abraham
2. They both consider an afterlife to be more important than life
3. They both have a low opinion of Jews (the other religion that claims to worship the God of Abraham)
the three differences:
1. Christians misunderstand Muslims
2. Muslims misunderstand Christians
3. They each have different reasons for their low opinion of Jews.
