Islam means submission to God. A Muslim is a person who submits to God and believes in Him. Abraham believed in One God, so did Moses and Jesus.

Muhammed was born almost 600 years after Christ.
Then he tried to re-write history and falsify the teachings of Christ by writing the Quran....
Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ...that is hypocrisy...
They deny divinity of Christ.
they deny his claim to be the Son of God;
they deny his death on the cross...
they deny His ressurrection..
They deny Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
In fact, the Quran says: "Allah has no son".
Need I say more...?
Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ .
The Bible calls Muhammed and those like him False prophets.....
"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

The name Islām is significant to a Muslim, for it means “submission,” “surrender,” or “commitment” to Allāh, and according to one historian, “it expresses the innermost attitude of those who have hearkened to the preaching of Mohammed.” “Muslim” means ‘one who makes or does Islām.’
Muslims believe that their faith is the culmination of the revelations given to the faithful Hebrews and Christians of old. However, their teachings diverge from the Bible on some points, even though they cite both the Hebrew and the Greek Scriptures in the Qur’ān.

The word Islam is Derived From the Arabic Word "Salaam" Which Means Peace, it`s also derived from the arabic word "Silm" Which Means to Submit YOur will To Allah..
Thus Islam Means "To Aquire Peace By Submitting One`s Own Will To Allah (ALmighty God)... and who so ever aquires peace by submitting his will to Allah is called MUSLIM

Islam is a faith that became into created from anger,hatred and resentment of Abraham's determination to call Isaac as his seed rather of Ishmael. look into the observe Islam and look into the call of Ishmael and you will see the resemblance. Muhammed became right into a political & militia chief who became into additionally a murderous religious enthusiast who waged conflict against all people who did no longer bow right down to Allah,a god wherein became into created by ability of Ishmael
