In all honesty, I don't think any of them are right. If there was one "true" religion, then why are there so many different sects? Not just Muslim, but Christianity and Judaism as well. Why wouldn't everyone believe the same exact thing? I suppose that is a rather simplistic way of looking at things, but how can they ALL claim that they're true?

Do I think that there are people who truly follow Islam?
Obviously. To them, it is their religion.
Do I think Allah is God?
No, Allah is nothing more than a re-vamped moon god. Most Muslims don't know this, and will get quite irritated if you try to tell them.
Do I think Muhammed was a prophet?
No, I do not. I think Muhammed was a violent, savage man who led violent savage men like himself into war, war, and more war.
Most of our US "converts" seem to be black youth who have been decieved into thinking that Islam is somehow a "black religion" while Christianity is a "white religion". How they got this notion is beyond me, since both Ishmael and Isaac were sons of Abraham, who was neither white nor black, but Semite. Nobody seems to have told them that Muhammed not only owned black slaves, but thought that the black race was created by "Allah" for the purpose. Nobody told them, I guess, that one of the very first gentiles to convert to Christianity was the Ethiopion eunuch whom Philip baptized.
I wonder how these minor details keep getting left out??

There are several crucial differences between the Christian and Muslim concepts of God. Both faiths cannot be correct. We believe that Christianity has the correct view of God because there can be no salvation unless sin is paid for. Only God could pay such a price. Only by becoming a human being could God die on our behalf, paying the penalty for our sins (Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

I am a Christian...
I believe that there ARE other true religions...
I believe that the Jews follow one as ancestors of Abraham...
I also believe that Ishmael's ancestors follow a different religion that is true...
I believe that all three religions were made promises by God...
Since I was not born in the line of Abraham.. I am a Gentile.. and thus Christ made promises intended for me.

True or false are not labels that fit a religion. All the religions in this world have truth as their base and human good as their creed. Leave that judgement to those who are insiders and sit on the fence.

In part;
Hope this answers your question.
Muhammad’s Calling
6 Muḥammad was born in Mecca (Arabic, Makkah), Saudi Arabia, about 570 C.E. His father, ‛Abd Allāh, died before Muḥammad’s birth. His mother, Āminah, died when he was about six years old. At that time the Arabs practiced a form of worship of Allāh that was centered in the Mecca valley, at the sacred site of the Ka‛bah, a simple cubelike building where a black meteorite was revered. According to Islāmic tradition, “the Ka‛bah was originally built by Adam according to a celestial prototype and after the Deluge rebuilt by Abraham and Ishmael.” (History of the Arabs, by Philip K. Hitti) It became a sanctuary for 360 idols, one for each day of the lunar year.
7 As Muḥammad grew up, he questioned the religious practices of his day. John Noss, in his book Man’s Religions, states: “[Muḥammad] was disturbed by incessant quarreling in the avowed interests of religion and honor among the Quraysh chiefs [Muḥammad belonged to that tribe]. Stronger still was his dissatisfaction with the primitive survivals in Arabian religion, the idolatrous polytheism and animism, the immorality at religious convocations and fairs, the drinking, gambling, and dancing that were fashionable, and the burial alive of unwanted infant daughters practiced not only in Mecca but throughout Arabia.”—Surah 6:137.
8 Muḥammad’s call to be a prophet took place when he was about 40 years of age. He had the custom of going alone to a nearby mountain cave, called Ghār Ḥirā’, for meditation, and he claimed that it was on one of these occasions that he received the call to be a prophet. Muslim tradition relates that while he was there, an angel, later identified as Gabriel, commanded him to recite in the name of Allāh. Muḥammad failed to respond, so the angel ‘caught him forcefully and pressed him so hard that he could not bear it anymore.’ Then the angel repeated the command. Again, Muḥammad failed to react, so the angel ‘choked him’ again. This occurred three times before Muḥammad started to recite what came to be viewed as the first of a series of revelations that constitute the Qur’ān. Another tradition relates that divine inspiration was revealed to Muḥammad like the ringing of a bell.—The Book of Revelation from Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī.

My opinion of what a religion is a: "A system of belief". I think Islam falls into that. Now, it is not the true religion, but it is truly a religion.

Well if non Muslim thought it was would they not be Muslims?
You can expect a lot of derogatory answers to that question.
Of course they are going to say NO. DUH!
It is the True religion and the Final religion but if you are expecting non believers to agree i think you'll be sadly mistaken.

Salvation came 2000 yrs ago & not 1600 yrs ago. But in the OT there was OT saints. But they all look toward calvery knowing one day there will be a deliverer To once & for all take their sins away.
