Points 1 to 8 taken from post #9 of the above thread with my additional comments in square brackets [....]:

1. Jesus worshipped only one God and he always called others to worship only one God.......just like Muslims do
2. Jesus used to have a beard just like all other prophets, even the picture that today's Christians "imagine" for Jesus is for a man having a beard.......just like Muslim men do
3. Jesus was circumcised.......just like Muslim men do
4. The Mother of Jesus Mary was covering her hair, and all the pictures in today's churches that they "think" that its for her is a picture of a woman with a scarf........just like Muslim women do
5. Jesus used to pray and prostrate.......just like Muslims do [inc. Old Testament prophets such as Abraham, Moses and Aaron]
6. Jesus used to fast....just like Muslims do [Jesus: without food (and water) for 40 days]
7. Jesus used to make ablution before prayer........just like Muslims do [inc. Old Testament prophets such as Moses and Aaron, as did St. Paul]
8. Jesus didn't eat pork...........Just like Muslims do

I added some more points (references can be provided on request):

9. Kosher meat was eaten by Jesus. Muslim do too (halaal = kosher).
10. Moses took off his shoes on Mount Sinai as it was holy ground. Muslim take shoes off before prayer.
11. There was a "direction" for prayer in the Old Testament. Muslims pray towards Makkah.
12. There was a "call" for prayer in the Old Testament. Muslims have the Adhaan.
13. The posture for supplication (du'a) in Muslim prayer is IDENTICAL to this verse:

"...when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven."-(1 KINGS 8:54).

See posture here and compare with 1 Kings 8:54

14. Jesus instructed his disciples to greet with "Peace be upon you" setting the example himself in Luke and John. Muslims say that in Arabic.
15. The small book of James says for something to occur in the future say "If God wills it". Muslims speak "Insha-Allah" in Arabic.
16. Jesus as well as previous prophets wore modest dress which Muslims should aspire to!

Feel free to add to this list.

It could be argued "Christianity" is more strange to Jesus than Islam is to Jesus!

There will be of course some Christian sects / churches who may do some of these above points. But generally it is the Muslim who is the real follower of Jesus because he is the one following the original message of Jesus. Christians are following a mixture of Jesus, Paul, the Church, Pagan religions, etc.

Salam.

I don't see the point of this question. They are both our Prophets and we are following the truth and we can prove that the Quran is the Kalaamallah. The Christians, Jews etc are following Falsehood.
