So I said that I see similarities when I compare those religions, here's why:
~ There's a God, a higher power that created earth and men.
~ In Christianity there's Jesus. He's the son of God and we worship Him. In Islam, there's Mohammed. He's not the son of Allah, but muslims do woship him. There's the similarity I meant.
~ In Christianity, Maria is the mother of Jesus. In Islam the mother of Mohammed's name is like that.
~ In Islam, there are angels, just like in Christianity.

There are more, but these are all I can think of right now.
IIf I am correct,Islam actually recognizes the first 5 books of the OT, and claims that Allah is the same God of the Bible. However, they hold the Quran in the highest authority as far as scripture. Islam is a corrupt derivitive of Judaism, and this is why there are some similarities between the two, especially regarding the legalistic aspects, albeit Islam is more rigid in its enforcement of those laws
