There is only one hell just like there is one heaven (with 7 layers).
Some descriptions of hell: http://www.islamreligion.com/articles/344/
I did a quick search to get that link and only scanned the article...you can do a further search or email me and I will try to find a book for you or something. Otherwise you can read the quran in it's entirety.

Hell
Hell, or Jahannam (Greek gehenna), is mentioned frequently in the Qur'an and the Sunnah using a variety of imagery. It has seven doors (Qur'an 39:71; 15:43) leading to a fiery crater of various levels, the lowest of which contains the tree Zaqqum and a cauldron of boiling pitch. The level of hell depends on the degree of offenses. Suffering is both physical and spiritual.
Being a Muslim does not keep one out of Hell, but it is not clear whether Muslims remain in Hell forever. Non-Muslims (kafir), however, will be punished eternally. A Muslim author on IslamOnline.net explains it this way:
"Ultimately, God will remove from Hell those believers whose sins were not forgiven nor atoned for by good deeds in their lifetimes, and they will then enter Paradise. The remaining inhabitants of Hell will stay there eternally." (Islam Online)
Other Muslim commentators, noting that Allah can rescue people from hell as he chooses, and that he is merciful and compassionate, have hypothesized that eventually hell will be empty. Alternatively, Hell can be seen as a place of progress where souls are instructed until they are fit to go to heaven:
"Life after death is actually the starting-point of further progress for man. Those in paradise are advancing to higher and higher stages in knowledge and perfection of faith. Hell is meant to purify those in it of the effects of their bad deeds, and so make them fit for further advancement. Its punishment is, therefore, not everlasting." (Muslim.org, an Ahmadiyya website)

There is only one Hell, not a separate one for Muslims and Christians.

Like all religions people who have different beliefs, of how you should worship or interpret their holy book, are not true believers. Therefore it, in this instance, is not Muslims that they are killing but infidels. Hope that makes sense? ?

Oh Get over it. The Bible tells us not to kill and Jesus was a tree hugging pacifist, but that hasn't stopped the 'family values' set from putting 4,000 of our kids in graves.
That knife cuts both ways

Hell for them will be like any person who rejects of Jesus. The only way to go to hell is to die in your sins without
the free gift offered by Christ Jesus on the cross. The muslim religion worships a false god and if they don't turn to Jesus they will go to the one and only hell, created not for us but for Satan. If we reject Jesus we choose hell. Repent and turn to Jesus.
