Many Muslims feel that they are better Christians than Christians.
Jesus is one of our most respected prophets and many Muslims feel that to consider him to be an incarnation of God is profoundly disrespectful and totally missing the point of the messages that he delivered and the miracles he performed. They point to the fact that nowhere in the Bible does he explicitly say that he should be worshipped and argue that references to being the son of God are purely metaphorical and should be understood in the sense that all humans are the children of God.
I don't know enough about the bible to understand the validity of their arguement.
Lots of Muslims feel that if Christians understood Islam better that there would be less antagonism towards Islam. generally speaking I think it's true to say that Muslims have a better understanding of Christianity than Christians do of Islam.
One statistic that I find quite interesting is that the rate of conversion from Christianity to Islam is much higher than the rate of conversion from Islam to Christianity. Many Christians have found that Islam answers questions they have about thier faith nut the opposite is seldom true.
