It is so cause many people think that Muslims hate Hindus and that's why they are considered as the closest to Christians. Also, we see problems faced by Hindus while going in Kuwait and few other places where the Hindus hide their identity of being Hindu.Other wise people say that they are being constantly asked to leave the place with some what harassment.Not for sure, about the harassment.

Yes it is true and it is the Truth. Christians cannot visualise the exalted respect accorded to mylordJesus The Christ. The Muslim Mystics are engulfed by Visions/Epiphany of mylord. They have to have Faith in the Bible like in the Quran.There is a Commandment in the Quran"Do not differentiate among the Prophets";only Allah knows if one was superior to another". There are far too many sayings of the lord Jesus Christ in Muslim theological and mystical books that if collected and gleaned by a researcher, there would be a publication named: The Muslim Bible ! Muslim children are named after him (in Arabic Bible Jesus is Eissa Masih, and in Arabic Bible the Name of The Lord is Allah - not God) .Muslims accept and honour all the Holy Prophets named in the Bible, with the only difference that no 'sins' are ascribed to them, as in the Bible? Muslims also wait for his parousia(second coming), asserting that he shall rise among Muslims. There are Christian Churches, like the Unitarians whose beliefs about mylord Jesus and the Bible are like the beliefs of the Muslims, generally. Christianity is an Eastern religion like Islam.

i would say yes because Abraham is the great ancestral father of both. Ismeal the founder of mulim is the son of Abraham and Abraham whose other son is Isaac both has the hand in the christians convenant with God. I think what am trying to say is that Abraham known as the father of all nation, has two sons who begot the christians(by isaac) and the muslims(by ismeal).

…you will find the nearest in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say, “We are Christians.” That is because amongst them are priests and monks, and they are not proud.
And when they (those who call themselves Christians) listen to what has been sent down to the Messenger (Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him), you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of the truth they have recognised…

I m muslim: i dont think we are close to christians, bcoz we believe jesus(pbuh) as one of the messenger of Almigty Allah, like Abraham,David,Moses,Muhammad(pbut) and many more where as christians beleive Jesus(pbuh) as God or son of God, islam stongly object to the both things.
then hw cn we are close to each other.
only the thing is we belive the our Holy Books as word of God, but in that christians made some changes in Bible and its admitted by higher authorities of christian, where muslim have not made any change in the Holy Quran.

No because Muslims worship one true God and Christians worship 3 gods...
Muslims are more closer to Jews than Christians...

no because Jesus didn't spread the word by the sword, or rape people like Muhammad did.
christian countries dont kill Muslims for believing in what they believe were as Islamic countries kill Christians for what they believe. i say Christians in England kill all Muslims because that's what they do to us in their country

No, we Christians are nothing like Muslims as far as religion goes. As far as being human, yes we are all the same.
