The Islamic faith has no common ground with Christianity because they have rejected the deity of Christ.

Please don't take me for an idiot. Within Christianity, there is not uniform agreement that Jesus is God. I'm not talking about Mormons or Jehovah's Witness, I'm talking about specific other branches in Catholicism and Protestant that do not believe Jesus was God.

They treat the trinity as heresy, and they believe that the deceiver Muhammed was a true prophet when in fact he was nothing short of a blasphemer.

And here's where the difference between you and I come. I refuse to insult your religion. You couldn't care less about mine. The remarks you have made are more than enough to anger me and try not to focus on the discussion at hand. I assume that is your tactic, insult the Prophet, and hope he doesn't reason about the subject on hand.

I think I'll go with the latter. According to Deuteronomy, you cannot make the statement you made above (you do believe In Deuteronomy, don't you?)

But A Prophet, which shall presume to
speak a word in my name, which I have not
commanded him to speak, or that shall
speak in the name of other god, even that Prophet shall die.

An if you say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the
Lord hath not spoken?

When a Prophet Speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the
the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing
which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath
spoken it presumptously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Deuteronomy 18:20-22

Before you can call him a "blasphemer," he must fail the test above.

I'm sorry to say that if you continue to insult Islam, I cannot carry this conversation.
