I would agree that Allah and God the Father is the same being. What you call Him is of little importance, as long as you worship Him. The fact that Christ prayed to the Father, Allah, Elohim, the Great Spirit is obvious. Just because you translate things around to mean Allah doesn't make Christ Muslim. Christ was the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world. It is through Him that God the Father forgives our sins and allows us entrance into paradise.
As to Christ being the Anointed, perhaps you should study the Old Testament about who the Anointed One would be. Messiah is Hebrew for the Anointed. The Anointed One refers to His calling as Savior of the world. No one else is called the Anointed in that fashion.
Before you assume you are correct, perhaps you should study it out a little more and not make grand assumptions based on unreliable sources.

Jesus did not pray to Allah. You put Allah there, it's not in Mark 14:36!
And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."
No Allah no where, no way.
NO WHERE in the Bible does it say Jesus was a prophet sent by Allah. Not there.

You are reverse interpreting, called eisegesis. That is taking your theology and forcing it onto the text by implicitly assirting Jesus was a prophet like Mohammad. Bad hermeneutics. You should get your theology FROM the text, called exegesis.
Jesus was a prophet, but not like Mohammad. Mohammad was just a man. Jesus Christ was the Godman. Why would I want to give up a Godman for a mere man? But more to the point, I dont even understand what you are asking. You haven't made an argument beyond the mere assertion that Jesus was a prophet. Ok. So. What is your argument. It needs to include (1) a claim and (2) supporting arguments/evidence. All I see here is (1) a claim - Jesus is a prophet. Great. I beleive that to.

You should do some research on your religion. Allah was not, nor is he today, the same god as the God of the Bible. Mohammad was a descendant of a tribe that venerated a moon god, known by the name of Allah. The Ka'aba of Islam holds a piece of meteor, which has been venerated since long before the advent of Islam, and not by Jews or Christians. It was a pagan symbol of a pagan deity.
Your Allah is a pagan god and you are part of a pagan religion that advocates the murder of innocents and terrorism: " But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. " (Quran 9:5 Kitab Al-Farai'd). You should atleast have a basic knowledge of your own religion before you attempt to debase that of another.

I don't think in the Christian bible, the word Allah appears anywhere. While on Earth, Jesus acted like a human man, living like a mortal. He would pray to God, but no where is God called Allah.

Jesus was not praying to the Allah of Islam but to the God of "Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob". All three patriarchs are mentioned so that no one can claim that the God of the Bible is the God of "Abraham and Ishmael". The promised Messiah came through Jacob/Israel.
As for your Greek, you need to brush up on your studies. The Greek word for "Father" is "patere" and it does NOT mean Lord, God, or Allah. It simply means Father.

Yes, Jesus was annointed this also fullfils the scripture that Christians believe. Just because Muslims want to claim Jesus as their own does't mean that Christians are wrong. Jesus is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. He is my savior and redeemer. Only Christ can save you from death. Jesus loves you.
Matthew 7:15
15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

John 6:40
"For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day." It is clear that he is referring to himself as the son on god and not a prophet. Why does he call God "my Father" and not "our father"? My father implies he is the son of God. Our father would imply that he is but a mortal, since he would be every body's father.
The Lord's prayer was said by Jesus Christ as a guidance to his apostles on how they should pray. It was not a prayer that he used.

Christianity is hundreds of years older than the Muslim philosophy. Its more likely that early muslims took their ideas from christian and jewish texts so I think your question is moot to some extent. Allah is another name for God just like Jesus is Emanuel. I think its safe to say that Christians and muslims both worship God, but their view on God is obviously different. Christ was a prophet of God according to christian text and according to muslim texts that were written centuries later he is a prophet of Allah.
