There are multiple reasons why one cannot speak about âA Christian View of Islam.â Both religions have billions of followers so that terms such as âChristianityâ and âIslamâ should be understood as merely âemaciating abstracts.â
In 2020, there were 2.382 billion, or 31.1 percent of the worldâs population, who identified as Christians. Correspondingly, 1.907 billion Muslims, or 24.9 percent of the worldâs population, adhered to Islam in 2020. This means that well over 50 percent of folks around the world adhered to these two religions.Â
Imagine what would happen if we had a real dialogue today between the major religious leaders of Islam and Christianity. Unfortunately, in the U.S. evangelical leaders like Jerry Falwell Jr. and Franklin Graham see Jesus and Muhammad as representing two different gods.
