A Muslim is called to submission to God and so is a Christian. A Muslim understands this submission in a context of the Koran and with Mohammed as a prophet. A Christian looks to Jesus not only as prophet but as the incarnation of God. Still, both feel that God has revealed his nature to them, although w certain differences. I don't feel the need to go into all those differences. The differences we have are important, but each of us knows that we need to submit our lives to God.
Instead of counting our differences, we should all support each other in this attitude of submitting ourselves to God. Only when our hearts are his will true peace come. We Christians need to pray for our Muslim brothers and we will greatfully accept prayers from them for us. Ultimately we all need God's love. This extends beyond Abrahamic faiths too, to all mankind, regardless of creed. God is not in a box.
