From the Paper:

"With the many recent global controversies about politics and religion, it is important to understand some of the history and background of two of the most popular and powerful religions in the world today. Christianity and Islam are often considered to be two totally different faiths with irreconcilable differences; however, this paper will show their many similarities between them, demonstrating that they are not that different after all. The lives of these two men were fairly different, although they did have a number of elements in common. Both were born in relative poverty in parts of the world with geographical and political similarities. Although Mohammed was born almost 600 years after Jesus, they were both born in highly populated areas of the Middle East where Judaism was a popular religion, practiced along with the polytheism of the ruling group ("Mohammad," 2005, para. 1).
