- They're both based on the Old Testament

- They both come out of the Middle East

- Their holiest city is the same

- Muslims, and Catholics believe that Jesus was born of a virgin.

- In both of their names, the world was plunged into war and chaos, many, many times.

- They both revere Mary as the Mother of Jesus

- They both believe Jesus performed miracles

Where they differ, mainly, is on a few points:

1. Jesus being the son of God. Christians believe in the Trinity (God, Son, Holy Spirit). Muslims believe that Jesus and Mohamad are both Messengers of God, as God has no physical form.

2. Jesus did not die on the cross, instead God snatched him at the last minute, just as he did with Mohamad, at a spot, a few minutes walk, from where Jesus was "taken:.

Finally, they are called belief systems for a reason. You don't need to follow any logic, to believe in something. When in doubt, and there's always doubt, you can make up your own stuff.

PS: It's Islam not muslimnity
