Islam is unlike Christianity because it teaches that Jesus was just a prophet, and that Mohammad is the final prophet. It denies much of the Bible and instead relies on the Koran. Islam teaches total submission to Mohammed's teaching, and that Allah is the god of Islam. The main difference between the two faiths is that Islam rejects Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and the right way to heaven.
