The essence of all religions is Spirituality - Divinity -God.The difference is in the methods of approach depending on the place , people and the time .The methods and practices are visible to all . But the one ,who is spiritual, knows the essence of all religions (even pagans ) which leads to God .It is like fragrance of roses but roses are of different colors sizes and shapes. But the rose is a rose.There is no fundamental difference between religions.So why fight like FUNDAMENTALISTS .

Well, there shouldn't be - it's just that they went a bit cockrell-eyed (they blanked it with just the first four letters!) with their interpretation of the New Testament - either faction, that is, depending on your point of view.
Muslims seem to have had bad press over the last couple of decades because of extremists which you don't seem to hear about with Christians unless you go back to King Richard and the Crusades. I think that is very sad for the more normal law abiding Muslim communities and I think that the Crusades are an embarrassment to English history.
Is there a big difference? They have arms and legs, heads and feet, hearts, livers, stomachs and lungs. They breath and they bleed - we all do.
The difference could simply be that some people want to live in peace and others want to live in war.

Not really, save that the Koran was written supposedly because the Christians screwed up the message of the New Testament. The Muslims believe, incorrectly, that the Christians thought that the Holy Trinity was God the Father, God the Son, and the Virgin Mary. The Koran was written to change that as well as other beliefs that the Christians held. I also don't see Christ saying,"Go forth and kill thyself and take the heathen with you. For if you do so, I shall give you 72 virgins in the afterlife." Christ would have suggested talking to them first, and ixnay on the virgins.

Yes there are difference.
Muslim believe in one God.
God is one God in the most basic, simple, and elementary meaning of the word. He has no children, no parents nor any equal. In Islam God is known by the name "Allah" and more than 99 other venerated names, such as "the Merciful," "the Gracious," "the All-Powerful," etc.
Christians believe that:
God is three gods merged into one God. This one God is called a Trinity. However, to say that God is three is a blasphemy of the highest order. All three parts of the Trinity are "coequal" "co-eternal" and "the same substance." For this reason, this doctrine is described as "a mystery."
Muslim think about Jesus:
A very elect and highly esteemed messenger of God. No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe this.
Jesus in Christianity. The second member of the Triune God, the Son of the first part of the Triune God, and at the same time "fully" God in every respect.
The Holy Spirit in Chrisitanity
The third member of the Triune God, but also "fully" God in every respect.
Muslim : The Holy Spirit
He is the angel Gabriel. The angel Gabriel is highly esteemed as the "Trustworthy Spirit".
The Bible in Christianity
Accepted as 100% the faultless word of God .
Muslims believe in the books of the previous prophets including the "Torah" which was sent to Moses, the "Zaboor" (Psalms) which were given to David, the "Injeel" (Gospel) which was given to Jesus, and the Qur'an which was given to Muhammad However, Muslims are told that the previous scriptures were tampered with by mankind and the Bible should only be accepted in as far as it is confirmed by the Qur'an. It is to be treated with respect, however any statements which clearly oppose those of the Qur'an are to be rejected as the work of mankind.
Chrisitans view:
The Qur'an
Varying beliefs ranging from it being a copy of the Bible to it being the work of Muhammad (pbuh), to it's being the work of Christians and Jews who were conspiring with Muhammad.
Muslim The Qur'an
The last book of God sent to mankind. It was given the distinction of being personally guarded by God from human tampering. It is on a literary level never before seen by mankind. No Arab to this day has ever been able to meet it's challenge to "write a work similar to it." It shall remain safe from the tampering of mankind till the day of Judgment as a guidance for all Humanity.

there is a very big difference. in Muslims you will be receive in heaven if you can be a very kind person to other, but in Christians you will be receive in heaven if you believe in Christ (He is the son of God) and can live with His way, there is no other way and no compromise for that.

Salaam Alaykum, NO...except ignorant people who don't understand we are more alike than similar...they just can't accept that Jesus was the son of man not god and that we both believe he will return in the final hours..some other minor differences but we are both a monotheistic religion with all the same prophets. We believe in a last one and they act like we worship the moon or the devil..
Wasalaam
