Mohammad  was most definitely a Christian.  His Christian faith is evident in 
the  Qur'an where he not only reiterates the teachings of Jesus, but also 
writes  about the virgin birth of Jesus to Mary (Maryam).  I think all 
Christians 
 should read the Qur'an also.

Haven't read it, but agree that it is a good idea, and I will.  By the  way, 
I have read many of the teachings of Buddha, at least as they are written  in 
the hotel nightstands in Japan, and agree that the basic teachings fit right  
in with the basic tenets of Christ.   I suspect that many of the  teachings 
that Mohammed wrote would also fit right in.
 
As was the case, however, with the Bible, and as I suspect is the case with  
the Qur'an (or Koran, whichever), and Buddha's original teachings, much has 
been  corrupted over time, and rewritten to serve the purposes of petty men 
with 
large  ambitions.   While I do practice in an organized religion, and will  
always continue to do so, I try to live by the two great commandments from  
which, according to Christ, all of the laws stem.   Love god, and love  your 
fellow man.
