Just adding my 2 cents worth to the OP.
Similarities do not prove same origin. A snowflake is very similar in appearance to a paper Doily, but I doubt if anyone would believe they have the same origin. Oddly enough though all things actually do have the same origin which is Allaah(swt), but that does not mean any creation is the precursor of any other creation.

'Yellow people' don't support Muslims, what rose tinted glasses do you sport? Also when you buy cheap crap you put your own fellow countrymen out of business. At least try to support Islamic businesses if nothing else at all!

China wish to give electricity to Pakistan and proptect them from India, for an example. If the president didn't reject China, Pakistan would be very prosporous.
Many many people in China are also muslims, and some parts were ruled by muslims.
It's good that we don't buycut China, but buy their products as well as buying from our own country and muslim countries.
I mostly look at quality and price, and China has both, those who make these things can be very smart. But of course don't buy odd stuff.

I suppose it depends on one's definition of God.
If one believes that God is a supreme being over all things, exactly how many supreme beings can there be? I would think that the answer is only one. If there were more than one supreme being, then is either one actually supreme?
Likewise, if one believes that there is a creator, then the one who created it all would be God. There could not be more than one God, because that would imply that there was a creator god and a created god. Surely the creator would be God and the created would be at best servants of God. The only way that one could speak of more than one, would be if one were talking about different facets of the one God. But that wouldn't change anything, you still would have just one God.
Now, if you just mean by the term "god" that the ability to do neat parlor tricks is enough to classify a being as a god, then there is no reason that one could not have a million or more gods. But one must still ask if there is not a supreme being and an ultimate creator of everything. If the answer is YES, then you are back to talking about just one God and must come up with some other name for all those lesser beings that do parlor tricks.

Oh, and Christianity doesn't say this. I wonder if you may have misheard what these Christians were intending to say?

It surprises me how ill read you're for a 'minister' or do you wish to deny Genesis 1:27?
''So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.''
I tell you the best and probably most accurate description I have heard of this as a justification of slavery is that 'God wasn't black and as such blacks aren't 'the children of God for they weren't created in his image' probably the same reason mass murderers of any people who didn't look like this 'christian God' who created in his image was justified, whether native Americans, or Vietnamese or Bosnians etc etc. not quite like the blond long haired Jesus you have carved and painted in your churches ..

Are there any Islamic/Muslim Websites that disprove Evolution Im asking this because most of the Anti Evolution websites are run by Christians. I would like to ask if the fossils prove or disprove Evolution the theory of Evolution I have doubts that humans came from apes or a animal that was like or close to a ape I know apes may look alike humans both have hands and feet fingers toes and ears that may look alike in someways but so do all animals all animals have eyes mouths ears legs and a head just like humans do I would like to know once and for all if human evolution is true or where we created by God.

Which is why I suggested that perhaps the original speakers were misunderstood. Yes Jesus is God incarnate, and in that incarnation indeed does (by definition) have a human body with hands and feet and eyes and ears and all the other parts. But the original statement by truthseeker63 reported that Christians were saying "God has hands feet eyes therefor he looks human and can become human." So, this looks like, according to Truthseeker's understanding, these Christians are proposing that the incarnation is possible because God has these human parts in heaven. That is NOT what Christianity teaches. Rather we teach that God in heaven is a non-corpreal, spiritual being. Indeed, the idea that Truthseeker63 puts on the lips of these Christians is something so foreign to any discussion I have ever had with any other Christian regarding the nature of God, that I suspect some miscommunication took place in the telling and retelling of that conversation.

Islam gave many rights to salves that were not there before, since it was so ingrained in the culture around the world it would be hard to completely abolish it within the life span of prophet Muhammad pbuh. But it set pretty much set the ball in motion and Allah knew that eventually it would be abolished.
