Actually, yes I have, and am on book #3 on better understanding their culture. The reason I am now reading so much about the subject is due to my own lack of knowledge, the amount of ignorance I see on the media, ignorance among average everyday Americans, and this O'Club.
Every person of the Islamic Faith I have ever spoken with about this subject says pretty much the same thing, (generalised) that Christians are ok, as they believe in "ONE" God, and that is a start, there is often some comparisons, between the two different religions, and that they believe Jesus existed, but was a prophet (a lot like the Jewish Faith) and did not rise from the dead. Where they differ is the whole issue of Mohammed, some Chistian scholars acknowledge his existence, as a prophet of sorts, and Islam sees him as the Savior.
