Why not Islam?

I know very little about Islam. To me though, Christianity makes sense, and from the little I do know of Islam, it seems to me that there are irreconcilable differences between the two. If only one can be right (as they both claim to be,) and I've found Christianity to make sense, then from my perspective , Islam must therefore be wrong.

Every religion makes claims of being right, which IMO makes them all the more wrong (there is to be only one Judge right?) I was raised in a Christian faith and do some valid points; as an adult I am currently studying the Koran and am amazed at the fundamental ideologies and core values that are shared. Everyone always concentrates on finding differences, when sometimes finding the likenesses are much easier and help simplify things. In the end does it really matter which religion was right?

Be that as it may, whether someone can find similarites between the two or not (and I acknowledge that there are a few similarites between Christianity and Islam,) those similarites don't reconcile the differences between them. If they both claim to be the only right one and there are differences between them, then at least one of them has to be wrong, regardless of how many similarities there are between them.horizon_mj1 said:
One reason it could matter is if the religion is correct in its claim that a person's obedience to it affects where and how that person is going to spend eternity, and that person considers his place in eternity to be an important thing.horizon_mj1 said:

Isn't it a belief in both religions that no one knows you better than God and that He knows your heart even if you don't know the right religion; this being how you will be judged (by what is in your heart). I apologize if I am that far off base, I am by the way reading the Koran at present, so this thread helps, thank you, Jaiket.
