This raises more questions than it answers and disquiets me more than comforts. The examples the author uses to show what Muslims and Christians have in common are in fact EXACTLY what separates us.

The Holy Quran and Islam recognise that followers of the three great Abrahamic religions, the children of Abraham, share a common belief in the one God, in biblical prophets such as Moses and Jesus, in human accountability, and in a Final Judgment followed by eternal reward or punishment.

WRONG! Jesus isn't a prophet, he's 1/3 of the God Head.

whoever believes in God and the Last Day, and whoever does right, shall have his reward with his Lord and will neither have fear nor regret" (2:62).

WRONG! It isn't enough to be good and believe in God. You have to also accept Jesus's sacrifice for your sins.

I don't know if this author is just ignorant of basic Christian theology, is deliberately concealing a darker intent, or if this reflects a problem of definition. By Christian does he only mean the small fringe groups that claim to follow Jesus' teaching but don't acknowledge his divinity?

The more I read things like this the more I question Muslim tolerance of Christianity.
