Other than the fact that we both worship the one (and only) true God.

Both Islam and Christianity believe in the great ones of Israel one and all. Both Islam and Christianity believe that the OT or the Torah and Tanakh are holy books of God. Both faiths believe in the Day of Judgment when the Lord Most High will judge all mankind. Both faiths teach us to spend our lives charitably, helping others and keeping ourselves away from evils.
Both religions teach that the Lord Almighty loves the good and dislikes evil in all its forms. Both religions teach that Jesus is to be respected and honored. In Islam we are not allowed to take the name of Jesus without blessing him in formal settings.
In fact Islam is the only non-christian religion which teaches us that if we reject Christ, we are bound for hell. We also believe he was the Messiah or annointed one who was sent to save Israel and the World. However when the Jewish people did not respond to his call and rejected him, then the temple was destroyed and the great diaspora began.
We believe that Jesus was sent to bring mercy to soften up the laws of justice andcomplete the mission of the Great ones of Israel but turning all nations to the LORD MOST HIGH.
We also believe in heaven with the Christian brethren or Paradise, or a state of being of complete peace and mercy of the Lord touching all of our souls.
There are many other parallels that will take alot more room to cite. We have a lot more common than the differences.
The differences however are of a deep nature. We do not believe the Lord Almighty can be born or die and we believe calling anyone God other than the holy one who has existed from eternity is a great and grave sin. Putting another God divides god, and thus divides mankind and creates strife.
I hope this makes sense.

They don't even worship the same God. Islam worships a moon god named Allah. Christians worship the One True God who created the universe. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

First of all Allah is NOT the one (and only) true God. Eliminating that, there are NO parallels between the two beliefs. They are opposites.

The Islamic God Allah and the Christian God Yahweh are quite different. They are not the same god. Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet and NOT God, while Christians believe Jesus is God. Muslims believe God is ONE, and Christians believe God is ONE and three (like water is always water - but water is ice, water is steam, and water is water; water is solid, liquid, and gas while always H2O.) Quite quite quite different.

they are many. both believe the prophets that come before Jesus(P.B.U.H.) and Mohammad (P.B.U.H) i.e. moses, Abraham, Jacob etc.
Both believe that Jesus will return before the end of the world.
Both believe in the punishments and rewards of the hereafter.
Both believe the presence of satan
Both believe the occurance of Gog and Magog
Both believe in the angels of God.
these are some of the most important common believes. The major difference is that christians dont believe Mohammed (P.B.U.H) is a Prophet and Muslims dont believe that Isah (P.B.U.H.) is the son of God or even God himself.

Both see Jesus as a prophet in one degree or another.

there is the acceptance in the birth of Jesus, the belief He will return, and that He is necessary to be justified and reconciled.
