The big difference between Islam and Christianity is that in Islam,
prophets or messengers are not 'inspired'.
They receive direct revelation through the angel Gabriel. They dont just wake up and feel they have to write Gods message.
Because theyre human, because theyre imperfect as all creatures of God, they receive the exact word for word message from Gabriel without the use of ther own mind faculties.
But Christianity doesnt even distinguish how important a messengers task is. The simply shrug it off as inspiration.
While inspiration is in the head...direct receival of a message is not. and God did trust prophet muhammad with that message.
Otherwise, I doubt a man who copied off a book from Christianity would devote an entire chapter on how pure the virgin mary was when the Bible itself does not contain a conclusive chapter about her.

It was the Prophet Mohammed himself who attempted to negate the positive image of the Jew that had been prevalent earlier.
According to historian Bernard Lewis, the Prophet Mohammed's original plan had been to induce the Jews to adopt Islam; when Mohammed began his rule at Medina in AD 622 he counted few supporters, so he adopted several Jewish practices-including daily prayer facing toward Jerusalem and the fast of Yom Kippur-in the hope of wooing the Jews. But the Jewish community rejected the Prophet Mohammed's religion, preferring to adhere to its own beliefs, whereupon Mohammed subsequently substituted Mecca for Jerusalem, and dropped many of the Jewish practices.
Jews faced the danger of incurring the wrath of a Muslim, in which case the Muslim could charge, however falsely, that the Jew had cursed Islam, an accusation against which the Jew could not defend himself. Islamic religious law decreed that, although murder of one Muslim by another Muslim was punishable by death, a Muslim who murdered a non-Muslim was given not the death penalty, but only the obligation to pay "blood money" to the family of the slain infidel. Even this punishment was unlikely, however, because the law held the testimony of a Jew or a Christian invalid against a Muslim, and the penalty could only be exacted under improbable conditions-when two Muslims were willing to testify against a brother Muslim for the sake of an infidel.

There is no Judaism or Christianity provided from only creator God Allah.Allah said that the real belief to me is İslam at the beginning of world life.Prophet Moses was a Jew but His religion was also İslam.Even Prophet Jesus religion was İslam.Later people changed their belief and they created themselves Judaism and Christianity.

True, often the Jews were not living their religion as it should have been lived. And, the Christians believed Jesus was G-d----which is not true. G-d is One, not a trinity. He sought to bring about a religion that lived the good of Judaism and honor Jesus in an esteem place--but not having the blasphemy of saying he is G-d. There is no G-d but G-d.

Mohamed (pbuh) inspired by Allah (the only god ),allah sent to people the Bible and Torah as he sent qur'an .
now ask your self again :Why Jews and Christians get through the "imperfect understanding" of the main purpose of the life and religion ?
Islam is the last religion and the only way to the heaven .

First let me tell you that your report is wrong.Mohammad was the last Prophe and all the religion are named in Qurant.Please read Quran and be aware of information completely.In Quran God has told many times about Jesus and other Prophets respectfully. As you know, Islam is the last religion.
