Is Islam a continuation of Christianity?

[Abdul-Raouf]

Do Christians ever realise that they are VERY DIFFERENT from Jews and Muslims?

It looks like Islam is a continuation of Judaism rather than of Christianity...

I agree with u....

Christians differ a lot... they changed themself...

I am 46 years old and am married to an Egyptian MUslim.. it was this fact that I began to study Islam. I have not just studied the Quoran but some of the Hadiths of Prophet Mohammed and also the testomonies of Aisha.
I am told that Islam is a continuation of Christianity and that Christianity is not dismissed by Islam.. yet there are so many differences.
Christ said that violence in any form was wrong.. to turn the other cheek.. he also said to live by the sword is to die by the sword.. yet Prophet Mohammed was a leader of an entire army.
Jesus forgave a woman who was to be stoned to death and told people.. LEt he without sin cast the first stone.. no-one did because they knew they had all sinned in their own ways.. Jesus told the woman to go and sin no more....Yet in the Quoran clearly talks about brutal punnishments that certain countries still practice today.
Jeus told us to drink red wine and take bread to remember him.. yet in Islam ALL alcahol is forbidden STrangely enough.. as a healer as Jesus was.. healing properties have been found in red wine.
Jesus said.. one woman for one man.. and all thier properties to be shared.. in the marriage ceremony of a Christian wedding.. the words are.. All what I have I share with you.. all what I am I give to you. Yet in Islam the wife only takes a share of an entire lifes worth when her husband dies and he can also have up to 4 wives.
I must make it clear at this point.. that I am not slamming Islam.. far from it.. I am merely pointing out just a few of the differences between the two religeons and yet I was told that Christianity is a continuation.
So if Islam is in fact a continuation.. why then are there so many differences.. one Muslim told me.. well Christianity didnt work so he talked to prophet Mohammed.. God in my mind does NOT make mistakes.
Id love to hear some other view points on this.

It is not my buisiness but do you realize what kind of problems and difficulties you, as a christian woman, will have after marrying a man from very different faith, a muslim ? I think that the same faith is the core and fundament of happy and good marriage. Maybe you dont see it now, but after many years the cultural and religious differences between you and your husband may become so big that living together would be extremely hard.
Of course i dont know exactly your situation, and character of your husband, but i have heard many examples about mix faith marriages that fall apart quickly. Are you aware that your husband will want to raise your children as muslims ? What is your opinion about that?
