One reason would be the fact that Islaam decrees Christianity to be a misguided faith.Why don't Christians consider Muslims and believe they are children of God?
That is indeed what they claim.Don't Muslims worship the God of Abraham from the old testament?
That depends on who you ask.Aren't Muslims a part of the old testament?I know they called God Allah but this is the God of the old testament right?

Surely being "misguided" or "misinformed" does not disqualify someone from being a child of God. We are all the spiritual offspring of God, whether we are pleasing Him by our decisions or not.Because Islam formed centuries after Christianity and deviates significantly from what they believe to be the word and will of god, regardless of whether or not they worship that same god.

Another is that it also insists that Jesus was only human - although I supposed that might not be a problem for non-Trinitarian Christianity.
That is indeed what they claim.

Muslims claim Abraham and other biblical figures, most remarkably Ishmael, as their prophets. But there is AFAIK no indication of what we now call Islaam in the Bible. And certainly no hint of Muhammad or of the Qur'an.

I had very good Mormon friends during high school period.@Estro Felino, I noticed that your religion is listed as Pelagianism. I didn't know what that was so I googled it. Like you, I don't believe that we are tainted by original sin from birth, nor do I believe in infant baptism. (I'm always encouraged to find common ground between various religions.)
Perhaps I should have said "all human beings" are children of God.So is an alien from K-PAX a child of God?
..............
A real Christian consider anyone, even Atheists, God's child.

Perhaps you misunderstood me. My post was directed specifically to Estro Felino, who said his religion was Pelagianism.I don't remember putting that down not sure what it is.
What Christians have believed for millennia is not necessarily what Jesus taught them they should believe. Perhaps it's the Christians who are so insistent upon excluding everyone else on the planet besides them from being recognized as children of God who are the naive ones.Real?!?!? Kind of a naive delusion of what Christians have believe for Millennia.
I believe the LDS church makes significant claims on its part.What Christians have believed for millennia is not necessarily what Jesus taught them they should believe.

Uh... yeah, like all churches, the LDS Church makes significant claims, and one of those claims is that we are all children of God. Apparently not all Christians would agree with us.I believe the LDS church makes significant claims on its part.
Primarily because of dogmatism.
If it isn't in the Bible, its not a part of reality or truth. Also, traditional Christianity holds the exaltation and deification of Jesus of Nazareth. Anything outside of that is heretical and untrue (according to traditional Christianity).
A lot of Christian against Islam has a lot to do with a combination of a few things, but most notably knowledge on Islam, the political difference from Christendom, and the geopolitical structures in between. Because Islam historically is considered new, it may be regarded as "satanic" cause its new and it diverges from what Christians believe.
