Muslims believe that the Jewish God is the same as their God and that Jesus is a divinely inspired prophet, but not God. Thus, both the Torah and the Gospels are believed to be based upon divine revelation, but Muslims believe them to have been corrupted (both accidentally through errors in transmission and intentionally by Jews and Christians over the years). Muslims revere the Qur'an as the final uncorrupted word of God brought through the last prophet, Muhammad, and Islam is viewed as a final correction of Judaism and Christianity.

It's all just different interpretations. The foundations are quite different? In the details but you are missing the bigger picture. Time to go back to school?

You're correct, I was in error as Muslims and Christians are closer to 1500 years which is only a drop in the bucket. :roll: Now the Christians and Jews have been killing each other a lot longer but you would know where to find that source in the Bible a lot easier than I. I would guess that first death took place about 2006 years ago.
