Christian / Jews look at Muslims

An American rabbi once said the Jews gave the world Christianity and Islam based on the fact that Jesus and Muhammad were all descendent of the Patriarch Abraham who they said was the first Jew. So the rabbi recognized the common geneology of Jesus and Muhammad but they do not recognize the prophet hood of these two; To them Jesus was an illegitimate child of Mary and Muhammad was not qualified for prophet hood because he was not as Israelite. The Jews believe that only an Israelite could become a prophet because they are "The Chosen People". The Jews look upon Muslim as infidels

The Christians look at the Muslims as a people who also inherit the sin of Adam (The Doctrine of the Original Sin) but have not been atoned by Jesus Christ. Such being the case Muslims are not getting any salvation because to them salvation is only through Jesus. Christians also look upon Muslim as infidels.
