"Why Christians Run from Muhammed"

Muslims often ask what is it about Islam that makes Christians run away from it. There are MANY reasons for this...I am going to explain just a few.
1. The "Lateness of Islam": Islam was started in the 600s AD by Muhammed. That is 600 years AFTER the death of Christ. Contrary to what some Muslims think, Jesus was believed to be DIVINE DURING HIS LIFE TIME. When you speak to historians, the farther the source from the time it happened, the less RELIABLE it is thought to be. In other words, Islam is NOT reliable due to the time it was written.
2. Muhammed and his mixed up stories: Muslims might NOT want to admit this...but almost EVERY STORY in the Quran is based off someone else's..Very little is ORIGINAL. AND Muhammed did NOT even get the stories right. Did you know that Moses's sister Miriam is JESUS'S MOTHER? Yes, the Quran says so. The fact that Miriam was dead MANY YEARS before Jesus was born is lost on Muslims. The clay pigeons coming to life?  That is from the "Infancy Gospel of Thomas"..a GNOSTIC GOSPEL, a book that is considered a late forgery. I cannot list ALL the stories taken from the Torah..It would take another posting and would go on forever. The point is this: Muhammed knew of these stories and these religious traditions. He stole from them to give HIS religion a hint of authencity.
3. Muhammed's actions: A prophet (according to GOD) must do two things: prophecize and miracles. Muhammed did NEITHER. If you look at the prophets of the Old Testament, they did BOTH of those.
4. Muhammed's sins: Prophets do sin..that is  fact...Humans sin...BUT BUT BUT prophets in the Old Testament DID NOT CONTINUE IN THE SAME BEHAVIOR AFTER GOD CALLED THEM TO BE PROPHETS. Yes, Moses killed a man..BUT after God called him, he did NOT DO IT AGAIN. Muhammed acted the same before AND AFTER his "calling".
5. Muhammad's relationship with Aisha: This is the most controversial thing in Islam. A 54 year old man marrying a 6 year old. Yes, in ancient times people married eariler than today...BUT that is an extremely young age. In other cultures at the same time, men would being executed for having this type of relationship with a child.
These are but FIVE reasons. There are many more. These are the ones that stand out for me. Islam is a "cult" that was started on violence and it continues to this day. God is NOT a violent warlord. God is LOVE and FORGIVENES
