Islam was founded by Muhammad who is an interesting character. He started his career by robbing caravans. He was a thief turned prophet. He was a charismatic leader who was able to unite the religions in the area into one religion through his creation of the Quaran that borrowed bits and pieces from other scriptures such as the Bible's old and new testaments. For example, Jesus is cited in the Quaran as just a prophet as well as the Apostles being referenced. Muhammad gained power by conquering his neighbors and subjugating them to Islam. His teachings are to subjugate those of non-Islamic faith "Infidels" by converting them to Islam or pay a retribution and be under the rule of Islam if not converted. These Islam rules apply to Muslims today and there is a sizable minority of several million who subscribe to the bloody, aggressive religious theology of subjugation. All of the major wars today are with Islamic groups. Islam is the largest enemy that the west faces today and you can be assured that more battles will be fought by the US and west against radical Islam.

Does the Bible teach that God is a “Trinity”—three persons in one being? Most professing Christians answer “yes.” Although long the litmus test of traditional Christianity, the triune god is deemed a mystery unable to be understood. Other questions arise: How does the sacrifice of Christ fit with the “three-in-one” god? How did Jesus “extricate” Himself from the Father and the Holy Spirit to die as Savior? And then there is this: If God is not a trinity, what is He? What have scholars, theologians and Bible students missed? Millions assume the trinity doctrine to be true and that Scripture proves it. Yet, God’s Word reveals something very different—and much greater—about the nature of the true God. Here, made plain, are the facts of history—and what the Bible really teaches about what and whom is its author!

I understand this much: They say that there is one God. We say that there is one God. But we have the concept of the Trinity and they say that means that we worship more than one God. They don't understand that we don't. They don't understand the idea of 3 aspect to one God. They also feel, as the Jews of Jesus' time did, when Jesus said that He was the Son of God, that this is blasphemy. They also say that anyone that says that Jesus is God's Son, or God, is a blasphemer and must be put to death. That last part is the part that causes the Christians to want to go to war against what they see as the followers of Satan. For who else but Satan would insist that someone denounce Jesus as the Christ or die? So you see there can be no reconciliation. They say we blasphemer by calling Jesus the Christ. And Christian say that anyone who ask them to denounce Jesus as Christ is of Satan. And so the world will end because we will end up killing each other. I pray it will not be so, but I fear that this will happen.

I don't believe that most Muslims would consider our beliefs too blasphemous. Islam refers to Jesus as the second most powerful prophet, after Muhammed. In fact, in the Qur'ran Muhammed visits the Dome of the Rock where he ascends into heaven and is lead in worship by Jesus.

Many Muslims refer to Christians as "people of the book" and believe that they are misguided in following a prophet as a God, but I doubt the majority consider it blasphemy. But there always some in every group.

No, but then I haven't really gotten a chance to ask. I don't know if they would tell me, even if I asked. Sometimes people can be tight-lipped about their religion, even when someone wants to know about it. I think a greater understanding of all religions could help everyone out. At least then we would know what NOT to talk about in a conversation. I think we also have to be open-minded about what others believe and not dwell on the fact that what we believe can offend others. It doesn't matter what others believe, what matters is that we live our religion and treat others with the respect they deserve to live theirs.

I understand. Muslims believe God is a single deity. They also believe that Jesus was a prophet of God and not the Son of God.

With both major religions at least acknowledging the spiritual importance of Christ (both making up over 70% of the world's population), it's hard to ignore the importance of Jesus.

Unless you lied, it is not possible that you asked this same question to muslims because in the question you identify yourself as a Christian by your use of the pronoun "our".
Now to address the question, yes I do understand why muslims find Christianity a threat to islam. Islam is fraudulent and is based on the lie that allah is the God of the Bible and islam was founded by a man who was a thief, rapist, murderer, and pedophile, and most certainly not a prophet of God. Real prophets keep God's laws. Muhammad enjoyed the special privilege, according to his koran, of being immune to God's laws, especially those dealing with sexual morality. No prophet claims to be exempt from any of God's laws, so in reality muhammad was not a prophet and pagan moon god allah is not akbar. Jesus is akbar because Jesus is God.

No, I don't think we understand.

It seems that the Muslim faith is set up to encourage ignorance... They aren't allowed to "understand" our faith... I served a mission for my church, and met 2 or 3 Muslims. They didn't even want to hear a word- It's against their religion....

We can't understand without asking questions, and neither can they. Until the understanding is a 2-way street, I think the disagreements (and the killing it entails) will continue.

even christians give me crap for being an "infidel" atheist/agnostic

and leaving their faith

any person who exercises free will in a religion based in servitude (Xian and Islam) is called blasphemous and labeled as a terrrist with dangerous ideas that could draw others away from enslavement to an ideal that cannot be achieved save death and afterlife

meaning: this life is trivialized and tossed for the belief in the next

no thanks!

A Muslim I once spoke to said that they believed that Christians and the Jewish would join them in Heaven and "we" would be forgiven and taught the truth. So I wouldn't consider us guilty of blashemy if that is the case.
