If you say, 'but Muhammad was fake' remember that Jews will say 'Jesus was fake'.

No!
Maybe you should list the comparisons, I personally don't see any.
Christianity by Christ developed entirely within a Jewish society, but Islam certainly did not develop within a Christian society and was not rejected nor Mohammed put to death by Christians. No comparison what so ever.

I don't see parallels. Jews reject Jesus because they do not believe that he is the Messiah about whom they have had prophecies for centuries in the past. They expect the Messiah to be a Jew and to come as a King to restore the nation to its glory and to bring a new kingdom on Earth. Christians have accepted Jesus as the Jewish Messiah that was expected to come so they don't expect anybody, except Jesus to come back to restore Earth to its glory and bring the Heavenly Kingdom. So Christians' rejection of Mohammed has nothing to do with Jews rejecting Jesus because Christians never expected another prophet anyway.

There's a big difference here.
We believe that the Jews turned against their own prophecies and rejected Jesus. They were expecting something much bigger and didn't get it.
However, there's no predictions within Christianity about another prophet coming. Jesus was the son of God, the last "prophet" to come to earth, and that there would be no one else to follow him after that. Once he returned to heaven, no one else would come until the end times.

Don't be an idiot Jesus was God in flesh then Muhammad comes along and rewrites the Bible to suit himself and spends his time warring with Medina and Mecca. There is no comparison. Jesus said he was God and Muhammad made himself higher then God there for Muhammad will suffer much. Jesus says in the Bible BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS AND IF ANYONE SHOULD COME AFTER HIM THEY MUST PICK UP THEIR CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM. How then is it that anyone would believe a word Muhammad spoke? Because in 543 A. D. no one was educated like they are now. Now that people have a chance to know Jesus they have been so far led astray they cannot see the light.

No I am not of the same nationality of Muhammad. Jesus was rejected by his own people. Not only that Jesus lived what he preached all the time, unlike Muhammad who at one time even took his own brothers wife.

And why would a Muslim ever look to the Jews for confirmation of anything?
The Jews are wrong. The Muslims are wrong.
Same family, same blindness. Perhaps it's genetic.

I see parallels, and I see truth.
Jewish law led up to Christian law.
Christian law is final. There is no more.
Galatians 1:8-9 "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!"
I guess Muhammad is "eternally condemned."

Abraham had two sons, Ishmael and Isaac.
Both were blessed since God promised Abraham that his seed would be blessed (before the birth of any child) and God does not break his promises and no nation can be blessed without Gods’ command.
1-----After Abraham had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram's wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian [princess], her maid, and gave her to her husband Abram as HIS WIFE. -- GENESIS 16:3
2------So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of HIS SON, whom Hagar bore, ISHMAEL. - GENESIS 16:15
Islamic belief is that both sons would be blessed and blessings would come through the both of them unto the world. In Islam there is no superiority or inferiority issues when describing the blessed sons of Abraham.
Isaac is mentioned with great honor and love in the Quran. Great Prophets came from the lineage of Isaac and David and none brought such a complete code of life and a complete law like Moses.
Amongst the Israelites (Jews) the great Statesman and Law Giver was Moses.
From amongst the Ishmaelites (Muslims) the great Statesman and Law Giver was Mohammed.
Mohammed, just like Moses, was a Statesman ,Military commander,bringer of a detailed Law for religious, social, financial, political affairs and both had families.
Both Mohammed and Moses claimed to be NO MORE than a Prophet and Messenger of the Almighty.
The Quran is full of the stories of Moses as a guidance for Mohammed on how he should handle similar situations.
Moses was the means for the Israelites to become a great nation chosen to protect and deliver the commandments from God as a blessing unto mankind.
Mohammed was the means for the Ishmaelites to become a great nation chosen to protect and deliver the commandments from God as a blessing unto mankind.
Through the seed of Abraham God has completed his favor unto all of mankind until the day of Judgement.
Mohammed was the last and final Ishmaelite/Abrahamic Prophet and Jesus was the last and final Israelite Prophet.
The Quran calls Jesus “the Messiah” which means “the one who was sent as a redeemer for the Israelites (Jews)”.
May God bless all the Jews, Muslims and Christians with proper understanding and may all of mankind benefit from the Universal Divine message and Universal Divine Law which is now eternally protected ( in the original tongue/language it was revealed) in the teachings of Islam.
Moses was told : "And the Lord said onto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken, I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him." (Deuteronomy 18:17-18)
-----------
Genesis 017:009-10 ---Then God said to Abraham, "As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.
This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
Galatians 05:002 ---- Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.

Nope. I believe Muhammad was very real. However, his coming was not foretold in the Bible, and the Bible is what I believe in.

Islam was made up, created, invented, when Christianity was 700 years old. What reasons would they have to honor a man who commanded his followers to murder all those who would not convert????
