Islam is not better than real Christianity or Judaism. Read what God said about the issue. "Say: we believe in God and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il: Isaac, Jacob and The Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)." (Qur'an, Al-Imran 3:84)
"We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)."

There are many ways that Islam is better then christianity. I am going to name a few.
1st: This is the most important. Muslims believe in One God (not 1 in 3, 5 in 1, or anything like that). One means one. Not three, five 200 or anything like that. The christians believe in one God too but they have more to it than just one God. They believe that 3 gods make up one God. I know it doesnt make sense, but thats what they believe.
2nd: God is perfect! He does not look anything like His creations. He does not eat, sleep, drink, use the bathroom, etc. The christians believe that God had to REST after He created the universe. This contradicts the belief in a perfect God. Muslims believe that He did not have to rest because He is way too perfect for that.
3rd: Muslims believe strongly in the Mercy of God. God is very merciful. You dont have to ask God to forgive you. There is one hadith (sayings of the Muhammad pbuh) that says that if one performs the ritual washing ( a washing done before praying, reading the Quran, or any other worship) before a prayer, for every step the person takes to go to the mosque to pray, thats how many sins will be forgiven. In another hadith, Muhammad (pbuh) asks his companions that if a man bathes 5x a day, will all the dirt be away from his body? The companions said yes. He then said the same goes for a person who perform their 5x prayers. All of their sins will be forgiven. Adam and Eve sinned and according to the Bible, God could not forgive their sins because it was "too big" for God to forgive. But according to the Quran, God did forgive them.

Islam says every person is born pure. Every person is judged by his own deed in his life. Christianity says every person is born with sin and you get salvation only if you believe in Jesus.
I am more comfortable with Islam than Christianity.

The same thing that makes Christianity better than Islam, or Judaism better than Hinduism, or Buddhism better than Shintoism, or Paganism better than Satanism, which is the bias of the person who believes it.

Mark s answer is the best, i think. Also liked the answer from independence.
I would say that no other religion ( xtianity, buddhism etc) doesnt percieve God as God. Xtians believe God became human.
Jesus is God and Jesus is man.
so its Godman.
Buddhists have no deity, yet they say - look into urself and u ll see buddha in u.
So any religion u take, perception of God or perception of universal turns around Man. so selfish and boastful...
now muslim believe-God is like no other being.
God doesnt live in ur heart, not in ur soul, not in ur conscience.
God is not energy, universal mind, universal soul.
nor God is love, but He is having love.
nor God is light, but He is having light.
nor God is life, but He is having life.
so any word, any notion, any idea is not enough to say what God is.
And thats the knowledge of islam, given from God since the times of first prophets as mark said.
It was always hard for people to accept this truth. They always wanted to "see" God - in the heart, in the mind, sure believing they are so wonderful that God can "live" in them etc... or put Him in some comfortable idea such as Love, Good, Mind etc...
Islam only guards that precious knowledge - nothing is equal to God, nothing of what we know and dont know.
Praise be to God. lets purify our beliefs before Him.

Islam is truly monotheistic. It utterly rejects any form of worship to any other than God, worship to Jesus, Mary, Muhammad or any other being than God is consider the most grave of sins in Islam.
Islam was the first religion to give women freedom. Yes, freedom. You cannot judge by the Muslims whose lives and religion have been affected by their culture, and the so-called "Shariah" they implement in "Muslim countries". Islam gave women the right to own property, the right to work, the right to higher education and high esteem.
Islam teaches peace and tolerence, kindness and patience. If the Shariah was followed as the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us, Christians and Jews could live with Muslims in peace with religious freedom and it would be a democracy. In Islam we are taught that the deepest circle of hell is reserved for tyrants.
I could go on for pages if you'd like. Let me know if you'd like to know more, or like any further clarification or information.
I hope you find your answers. Peace be upon you.

The belief that God (Allah) is the one and only God, the Sustainer of the worlds, the Protector of Faith, the Source of Peace.
Islam teaches that ALL men are one unit, that all are equal to each other. Islam teaches justice and delivers the message that punishment is for the benefit of all men yet it also teaches forgiveness and that Allah is a fair and Merciful God.
I wish you peace and blessings.

They're alot better at killing innocent people. They're alot better in evoking illegitimate hatred for one's fellow man. They're alot better at oppressing women.
