From the Paper:

"Islam and Christianity are two of the most popular and readily growing religions of the world with the former gaining wider acceptance in some parts of the globe in recent years. Despite the differences in the religious tenets, historians and religious experts maintain there are several similarities between the teachings of Jesus Christ and Prophet Muhammad. However our inability to see those similarities has led to the development of a very hostile relationship between the two religions where followers of each seek to criticize the other for their lack of knowledge and their alleged misinterpretation of divine scriptures. While Muslims have a more tolerant view of Jesus Christ, considering him a prophet of God and showing deep respect for the person himself, Christians have more or less failed to show similar reverence to Prophet Muhammad, often misunderstanding his teachings and calling him prophet of war."
