In general, Muslims view Jesus as a great teacher and perhaps even prophet, but that is all. since Islam came 700 years AFTER Christ, they had to deal with him somehow. They also had to deal with Abraham and Moses. The real problem with Jesus, Abraham and Moses is that they were all Jewish and that is a bad thing according to Islam. So they honor them on one hand and then elevate Mohammed and Allah to places of deity that they cannot support with their version of holy scripture.

In the final analysis, the Bible of Christianity (and by inclusion Judaism) is the story of God's redemptive work throughout history through His only begotten Son. The Qu'ran is a very beautifully written story of a god named Allah, who neither loves nor redeems his followers but requires their total devotion to death before they even know if he will save and deliver them.

Good analysis and synopsis of the Koran...they do seem to have a great deal of respect of Jesus as a prophet, and at least they acknowledge Him..it's the first step to their conversion.

The most fundamental difference between Christianity and Islam is

(attention pls,I say” most fundamental”)

justification by faith(Christianity)

or

justification by good works(Islam)

 

 

of course the good works of Islam including jihad

Maybe in their hearts, but in Islam, apostasy mean death.  Here are some verses from the Qur'an and other writings that tell us what it means for a Muslim to become a Christian in the eyes of Islam.
