Muslims believe in Muhammad AND Jesus, whereas Christians only believe in Jesus. Jesus is a very important and major figure in Islam, and is mentioned in the Koran several times, contrary to popular belief. He was one of God's mightiest messengers and played a significant role in Islam. Christians, on the other hand, cannot believe in Muhammad, as he was born after Jesus' death and after Christianity began. Therefore, many people will notice many Christians criticizing Muhammad, but Muslims never retaliating by criticizing their prophet back. Muslims believe in numerous prophets including Jesus, Abraham, and Moses; Muhammad was just the most important one.
Jesus preached peace, love, virtue, etc., and so did Muhammad. Many people fail to realize that Muhammad actually did preach very similar ethics and morals as Jesus did because of the influence of the Media on the people. The Media has forced many Americans to think wrongly of Islam and is very misleading. But in reality, Islam truly is a religion of peace, and Muhammad did promote peace, love, virtue, kindness, etc.
The fact of the matter is that all Muslims love and respect Jesus as he is a major prophet, where Christians cannot do the same with Muhammad. Many fabricated stories and tales are woven about his life by bias individuals who purposely intend to spread false or extremely misleading information about Islam. And Muhammad did indeed preach very similar ethics and morals as Jesus.
Muhammad did NOT preach violence, murder, terrorism, forced conversion, etc. This is all distorted information that the Media (the news) has portrayed Islam as being, when it is nothing like that in reality.

Jesus and Muhammed both existed. The difference is that Jesus is still alive, but Muhammed is in the grave. They did not teach the same ethics. The means of attaining salvation is completely different in the 2 religions.

Muhammad was born around 570 A.D. and died in 632 A.D. In between, he started the religion known as Islam. His credentials for starting the new faith is the belief that he is God’s last prophet who “completed the sacred teachings of such earlier prophets as Abraham, Moses, and Jesus” (World Book Encyclopedia, Volume 13 article on Muhammad). After his death, Muhammad was buried in the city of Medina in the Prophet’s Mosque.
Jesus was born in the city of Bethlehem of Judah and grew up in the Galilean City of Nazareth. Jesus also taught many moral precepts, among them that God intends for marriage to be a lifetime commitment broken only by death or sexual infidelity. The disciples of Jesus set out to conquer the world, but did so through teaching and preaching the message of Jesus. The warfare of the Christian life is a spiritual, not a physical one. (See 2 Cor. 10:3-5; Eph. 6:10-17). He died and was buried in the garden tomb of a follower. Three days later He resurrected from the tomb, was seen by several women disciples (Matt. 28:1 ff, Mark 16:1 ff); the apostles (Mark 16:14, Luke 24:36-40); an enemy, Saul of Tarsus (Acts 9:1 ff); and lastly over 500 men at one time (I Cor. 15:6).
The contrasts are these: One is a religion of physical conquest, Jihad, to spread its teachings with its founder dead with his grave still visible for all in the shrine of Medina. The other is a religion spread by teaching and preaching as a means of waging war in the spiritual realm, with its founder dead, then raised to life never to die again, seated at God’s right hand.
So the choice is this: One has as its founder a man who was not able to overcome man’s great enemy, death. The other has a founder who conquered death and offers the promise of the resurrection of life eternal to all those who faithfully follow Him. Which is the more appealing?

There is more evidence that Muhammad existed than Jesus. They both taught the supremacy of the Abrahamic God, but had different ethic and moral lessons.

People created these legends in order to teach morals and ethics. Folks couldn't put their ideas down if they were all supposedly part gods and from immaculate conceptions.

They both existed .Jesus was ealier and Muhammed was later .they both tached different ethics and moals .jesus taught non-violence and muhammed taught violence .Jesus was nt for killoing anybody.but muhammed was for killing all those who refused to accept Allah as god .
Muhammed himself has said that since the prophjets send by god earlier ( meaning Jesus ) was ineffecive and failed to achive the goal of conversion , god chose to send him as the final prophet to achieve conversion by force .
th emorals aslo differend .those who belived in jesus wer eaccomodated in the God's huse afer death with their dpouse to spend ther lives inpeace for eternity.but muhammed said in sura 78of Koran that .Allah would give to each believer in the afer life dozens of young women of equal age with swelling breasts to have sex for eternity.People hav made Jesus a god , though he did not claim to be a god and muhammed continues to be a prophet .

Jesus used a Greed light saber and Muhammad used a red one. They didn't really exist instead they were actually the same guy who was an actor hired to portray them both.
