What is the Muslim view of Christians, what is the reason for the current turmoil, is jihad still in existence, and can the two cultures accept that God and Allah are the same Creator to solve many problems?

Muslims divide Christians into two categories: The first are those who believed in Jesus before the prophethood of Muhammad, peace be upon him. These are monotheists, and those among them who believed in Muhammad will have a double reward. The second category deviated from monotheism by believing in the divinity of Jesus, or his sonship to God, or those who did not believe in Muhammad after hearing his message. This doctrinal position is firm and not a result of historical conflicts. Jihad remains for guiding people and freeing them from injustice, not for compelling them to embrace Islam.

The idea of a Creator Lord is proof of sound human nature, and this is what Muslims believe. The Lord is the sole Creator; none other should be worshipped. He cannot have a son or a wife, nor can He dwell in a human. The doctrine of Islam is easy and consistent with reason and logic: there is a Creator and a creation. God sent messengers such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon them, and supported them with miracles. If Christians were to believe that Jesus is a messenger, just like the other prophets, the problem would be solved. For reason agrees with human nature and revelation. Muslims believe in God alone, in His noble messengers, and follow the law of their final prophet, Muhammad, peace be upon him.

The Christian doctrine of crucifixion and redemption contradicts justice and mercy. How can God torture His only son for a sin he did not commit? How can Adam's sin be transferred and require atonement thousands of years later? And how can atonement depend on crucifixion and pain? Jews used to atone through repentance and sacrifice. Belief in the crucifixion necessitates false implications: the perdition of previous prophets, that the Jews are the most gracious of people, and that people will revel in evil. Moreover, Christ's cry on the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" indicates that he did not choose the crucifixion.
