We say it is false because it is false. Their god is not the God of the Christian.
Christianity is not a inclusive religion.
When Christians start chopping heads off, flying planes into buildings, and rioting over cartoons, I will gaurantee to you that you will see it reported on CNN.

Pretty straight forward. Christians do not believe that Mohamed was a true prophet. If they did they would be Muslims themselves. Since they don't they say Islam is false.
Many Christians accept Islam as a legitimate belief system, but in some ways it's just inherently unchristian to accept the validity of Islam.
It is sad to think that many Christians do not understand that Islam is part of the same overall religious tree as Christianity. People - you all believe in Abraham, Moses, Jacob, etc. The old testament is basically shared between Judaism, Islam and Christianity alike. We use the term Judeo-Christian all the time. It would be far more accurate to use Judeo-Islamo-Christian.
For the girl above who asked "what god do they fear?" The same god Christians do, silly. The disagreement is over who has the right to speak for god - Jesus, Mohomed, or none of the above.

It is not from the Spirit of the Lord but of another spirit, a deceiving spirit. Gods Revelation was complete in Jesus
It may also be worthwhile to discuss the nature of Mohammad's revelation (Koran). As even Muslims seem to generally acknowledge, Muhammad himself believed that these "revelations" were coming from the Devil in the beginning. It was only after being persuaded by his wife, Khadija, that he came to finally believe God was speaking to him through the Archangel Gabriel. Christians and Jews would be hard-pressed to think of anyone who wrote Old Testament or New Testament scripture who couldn't tell whether it was God or the devil talking to him.
Furthermore, have you ever heard of the "Satanic Verses"? Do you remember Salman Rushdie? He wrote a book by that title and some Muslim leaders issued a fatwa against him, calling for his execution, promising paradise (replete with 72 virgins) to anyone who managed to kill him. Just what are these "Satanic Verses" to which Rushdie referred? In essence, the story goes like this: Muhammad supposedly took dictation from Gabriel in regard to allowing certain pagan gods of some local peoples to be honored as "working with" Allah (the Muslim name for the one God), as lesser gods of a sort. These local people resisted Muhammad because their gods were not being recognized within Islam. According to Muhammad, Gabriel subsequently revealed that God was totally "okay" with this, and these local gods could be honored, etc. A bit "convenient", you say?
Well, some time later (interestingly, after the local leaders who supported these "gods" agreed to accept Islam as a result, and convinced the others to as well) Muhammad received a "new" revelation that totally contradicted the first revelation. These pagan "gods" were not acceptable, now. And the reason for this turn around? Essentially, "the devil made him do it.” Purportedly, he claimed that the first revelation about this was from Satan, and that he had been tricked. And thus, they are now commonly called "The Satanic Verses" in this day. An old saying may come to mind for some: “fool me once, shame on you....fool me twice”......you know the rest.

First of all compare the God of the Bible with Allah there is some major differences. One being the Holy Spirit is God in both old and new testament, but in Islam the Holy Spirit is an angel.

Chrsitianity and Islam are not the same religion and they do not technically worship the same God. You might want to take a comparative religions class, read some books or something. Religious radicals of any kind may not be justified in their actions, but the key word there is "radicals." Most average people do not participate in such atrocities.

I'd be interested in finding what Christians do that you would consider as bad as the practice of selling christians into slavery as the sudanis do just to name one thing. But rather than argue with you and posting a bunch of things that will make you angry (like why we believe Islam is false), I urge you to read this for yourself:

I'm sure there are tons of very nice people who happen to be Muslim. That doesn't mean that I believe the Koran is the word of God. As a Christian, I believe it to be false.

True Christians can not condemn any other religion. Jesus said, "...judge not, lest you be judged by the same measure."

Ignorance and being biased are the main reasons.
