Ted, So then he is a figure in the Christian faith as well, right?

Exactly. You know the story of Isaac and Ishmail, right?

there are parallels between Islam and Christianity.

I wouldn't call them "parallels." More like adoption of certain Christian principles and beliefs.

By the way, is it true that the Koran can be divided into two chronological parts? According to someone I talked to, the first part is when Mohammed was ready to take his new ideals and beliefs to the existing religions of the time. This is the peaceful, nice part. The second is when Mohammed was rejected by those existing religions, and that's when he turned more radical and extreme.

I have no way of verifying this account. Well, actually I do, but it's never been high on my list of things-to-do.
