What if Islam became a denomination of Christianity?

[Adamede]

Im hardly an expert on Islam but what I do know about the religion puts it at extreme odds with traditional Christianity theologically speaking.

Islamo-Mormonism will soon be the official religion of Utah.

YES!!!

[Harjanika]

No No No No No! While our religions may be similar, there's NO WAY our religions can collide.
1. Islamic Scholars would be angry
2. Racists would be angry (good tbh)
3. Islamic culture would be less significant
4. Muslims would feel confused
5. Muslims would be angry
6. There isn't really a 'Vatican' of Islam
7. The whole world would be confused
8. Christians may have to learn complicated languages
9. Religiousness would probably go down

(from the perspective of a Muslim)

There is an visible community of arab speaking christians in the levant and egypt

(also breakaway religions may be made leading to the downfall of both Christianity and Islam)

And for all Nine of those reasons the senario Im asking about would begin in 7th-8th century as this is the only real chance I can see for the religions colliding

oh, sorry lol

In that case, it would be a possibility, although it would more be likely that Islam would be a denomination of Judaism rather than Christianity.

At the time in the levant judaism was not that influencial
So its quite possible it would be achristian one

[Salus Maior]

Tell me you have no concept of Christianity and Islam without telling me you have no concept of Christianity and Islam

Judaism and Islam are more similar to each other than Christianity is to either.

[El Lazaro]

Islamo-Mormonism will soon be the official religion of Utah.

May the Native mujahideen prevail when the Islamic States of America joins them in jihad against Yusuf al-Hadad’s dangerous tribe of Utahhabis. Those idolators must be stopped from abusing misyar marriage and defiling scripture with their unlawful bid’ah. They have attacked Berbers and fellow Bedouins alike, and most recently slaughtered 150 members of the Bakr-Fanshur party under the guise of Berbers with the aim of igniting an ethnic war in our beloved desert land.

[Sordhau]

This hypothetical is rather absurd. Islam was founded to empower and enrich it's founder as he pursued a pursuit of power and conquest to become the dominate warlord in Arabia. Muhammad had no interest in unifying Christendom with the Ummah. He was a warmonger, not a peacemaker.

[Democratic Communist Federation]

First, the basic concept in Islam is Taw°ḥīd (Arabic, تَّوْحِيد). That term translates as unification or unifying one. All branches of Islam accept Taw°ḥīd and reject Trinitarianism. Most, but not all, branches of Christianity accept Trinitarianism.

Second, if Islam became a branch of Christianity, Islam would be Christian, not Muslim. To Muslims, Muhammad is the seal of the prophets. To Christian [sic, Christians], Christ is the son of God (a concept rejected by Muslims).

[Reorganized Portugal]

Islam and Christianity:
Both view Abraham as a prophet
Both worship the same God

That's about it.

muslims also believe that Jesus was born to a virgin, was born free of sin, was a prophet, and ascended into Heaven

[Vikanias]

Allah true god, he put Muslims on earth to kill goat Christians, Allah placed Albanians to rule earth, Allah true god.

[Adamede]

Then why did Allah make greatest Albanian of all time Skanderbeg a Christian?/s

[Asardia]

OP, please put The Archregimancy's explanation in your post. It will make discussion much easier.

Not what happened but thanks for your insight

[Jewish Underground State]

To answer the question the topic was. It would be chaos

[Rusozak]

The people that argue "freedom of religion" was only meant to extend to Christian denominations will suddenly have a lot of mental gymnastics to do.

[Prima Scriptura]

Trinitarianism is not an inherent component of Christianity, and Islam isn't just Christianity but for Klingons.

The VAST majority of prancing Christians believe in the Trinity. Non-Trinitarians make up a minuscule percentage

[South Raidland]

At best I see Muhammed's Realm taking up the west coast of Saudi Arabia and Possibly capturing Cario but not much more than that.

The Crusades would most likely still take place in Byzantium but instead of Isreal they would be mostly set for Egypt, Mabye An Egyptian Crusader state down the line.

[New Zoigai]

I have a concept of the religion I follow though.I find it odd everyone is saying I dont, usually how these discussions go, the vast majority of people offering no constructive crisitsm just insults because someone has an idea. As for Islam I rarely research it (if ever) because their isnt usually need to.

[The Rich Port]

The irony is that most of the distinctions between Christianity and Islam were made by... Christians and zealots.

Say what you will about the Medieval Islamic world, it was a lot more progressive and advanced than Christian Europe, and that's ignoring the Crusades made against Islam in order to take away their ownership of Jerusalem.

Quite frankly, why does it matter so much to you whether Islam is a form of Christianity? Does it HAVE to be in order for you to accept that it's people's choice to be a Muslim? And if so, that's more of a you problem.

Yes, one could easily say Muslims and Christians and Jews are similar... That's why the term "People of the Book" exists, which was originally a Muslim term that is in the Qu'ran.
