Few things that many Christians don't know about Muslims and Islam:
1- Muslims do not believe in Muhammad (peace be upon him) as God. They believe that he is a Messenger of God, just like Moses (peace be upon him).
2- Muslims do not believe that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Missiah. We believe that Jesus (peace be upon him) was the Missiah.
3- Muslims do believe that the "Real" Old Testament Bible did predict the coming of Jesus (peace be upon him).
4- Muslims do believe that Jesus (peace be upon him) did predict the coming of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). See: Jesus predicted the coming of Muhammad.
5- Muslims do not believe in worshiping idols or moon Gods. Nor any Muslim believes that the reason why the Crescent is the Muslims' symbol on their flag is because Muhammad (peace be upon him) had cut the moon in half with his sword. That is a fabricated lie about Muhammad and Islam. The reason why the Crescent is the symbol on our flag is because we start our fasting month "Ramadan" when the Crescent appears, and we end that month when the full moon appears after 30 or 31 days of the Crescent's appearance. The Crescent is not a holy symbol. Islam doesn't believe in holy idols or symbols to be worshiped !. The only holy thing in this world to Muslims is the Noble Quran, GOD's Revelations and Holy Scripture to us. No person is holy and no image nor idol nor symbol is holy either:
"They ask thee Concerning the New Moons. Say: They are but signs To mark fixed periods of time In (the affairs of) men, And for Pilgrimage. It is no virtue if ye enter Your houses from the back: It is virtue if ye fear Allah. Enter houses Through the proper doors: And fear Allah: That ye may prosper. (The Noble Quran, 2:189)"
Note on Noble Verse 2:189: The English translator wrote "enter Your houses from the back". This is a mistranslation, because in Arabic it says: "taato AL-BOUOTA min thohooriha", which literally means "enter THE HOUSES from the back".
So the Noble Verse should read as:
"They ask thee Concerning the New Moons. Say: They are but signs To mark fixed periods of time In (the affairs of) men, And for Pilgrimage. It is no virtue if ye enter the houses from the back: It is virtue if ye fear Allah. Enter houses Through the proper doors: And fear Allah: That ye may prosper. (The Noble Quran, 2:189)"
But anyway, as we clearly see in the Noble Verse, moon is nothing but a tool used by the Muslims. It is not GOD Almighty to us, nor do we use it in our worship.

If Muhammad split the Moon in half with his sword as some Anti-Islamics claim with their lies, then how in the world would we get a full moon today? and how in the world would the Muslims use the full moon to end the fasting month of Ramadan after the 30 or 31 days of the Crescent's appearance?
Please visit Did Prophet Muhammad really split the moon with his index finger?
6- Muslims do not believe that Jesus (peace be upon him) was a false Prophet. We believe that Jesus (peace be upon him) was a Messenger of God who came down to earth and revealed God's words to the people of Israel, just like Moses (peace be upon him) did.
7- Muslims do not view Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a holy figure that they worship. We (Muslims) only worship Allah Almighty (God) and nothing else. 1/3 of the entire Holy Quran (the Muslims holy book) talks about the Oneness of God and how God will punish those who worship multiple Gods and idols.
8- Muslims do not view the Bible as a man made lie. We (Muslims) view the current Bibles of today as modified books that can not be trusted. The Bibles of today had been tampered with.
