If by "the bible" you mean the canonized scriptures recognized by most or all sects generally recognized as Christians -- and by Islam you mean the religion, and not the concept generally -- nowhere. The books of the Christian Bible entered pretty much their final form before Muhammad began his project. There were some later interpolations, some even with profound (IMHO) doctrinal effects, but nowhere does it mention Islam.

Islam is not mentioned in the Bible, because Islam was not created until after the Bible teachings were written down.

The bible was written before the founding of Islam.

There is a verse in John that Christians interpret as meaning the coming of the Holy Spirit, but it says he will say all the things that are told to him, so it doesn't really make sense from the Christian perspective. Muslims point to it as referring to Muhammad, although they typically don't read the gospel ("injil").
More importantly, when the apostles ask Jesus how to tell the true prophets from the false ones, Jesus responds, "By their fruits you shall know them."
Christians also sometimes point to John 16:2 which says, "...the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God. They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me."

I don't think it mentions Islam, at least not by name. The religion didn't officially exist when the Bible was written.

No, the most you'll find is a reference to Ishmael, the elder son of Abraham. Despite popular opinion, the Canaanites, Egyptians, Philistines, etc were not Muslims or the prelude to Muslims.

There is no mention of islam in the Bible. Jesus warned of false prophets.

It doesn't. Supposedly the sons of Abraham went off into the sunset and the Muslim religion sprung from some of them. At least I think that is the Koran Mohammed theory.

TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SAID THAT THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN BEFORE THE RELIGION OF ISLAM. THEN YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BIBLE OR ANY OTHER HOLY BOOK.
IT'S JUST WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW. THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN AND EDITED BY A MAN . LET ME SAY THIS AGAIN IT'S WRITTEN AND EDITED BY A MAN.
ISLAM EXISTED SINCE THE BEGGINNING OF TIME
GOOD NIGHT

Galatians 1:8-9
to Freedom: that verse isn't talking about Muhammad in the least.
