As far as I'm concerned, Islam is a Christian sect. Though I know it developed from Hanifism, the religion of the followers of Abraham, and it just so happens that Hanifs of that era believed that Jesus was the Messiah. If Jesus is from the Israelite religion, then Muhammad is from the Arab Monotheistic religion Hanifism. His grandfather Abdul-Muttalib was a Hanif. And that's who raised him after his parents died. However, since Hanifs recognized the Messiah and accepted him, they became a flavor of Christianity. Like how Israelites became Ebionite Christians. Arabs became Hanifi Christians. It wasn't the Greek or Roman variety. It was it's own thing. And they had their own traditions passed down concerning their own prophets (Salih and Idris for example), and Muslims call Jesus Isa like the Ebionites in Syria did. Isa is the East Aramaic spelling common in the 4th-6th centuries among Ebionites in that region. And Ebionite Christianity is basically Islam with slight fiqh differences and one less prophet.

(judaism didn't really exist until the late 1st century, and Jesus wasn't Judean, he was Nazarean. There were 3 Israelite religio-ethnic groups in Palestina at the time. Nazareans, Samaritains, and Judeans. Judeans became Jews at a later date. Samaratains still exist in Nablus, Palestine. This is the same sort of situation. As with everything else, Jews wanna claim shit that aint theirs. Jesus wasn't Jewish. Jews didn't exist yet.)
