Say: "O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will).Quran 3:64
Those are two wildly different opinions. They can't be reconciled.
(3:84) Say: 'We believe in Allah and what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and to Issac and Jacob and his descendents, and the teachings which Allah gave to Moses and Jesus and to other Prophets. We make no distinction between any of them and to Him do we submit.

Just out of curiosity, if God has no partners and Muslims don't make any distinction between the prophets, why was Jesus picked to be the one to save everyone from the Anti-Christ?
You don't think there's any distinction there?
Why doesn't God kill the Anti-Christ himself?
Why didn't Islam just make the Mahdi the one to kill the Anti-Christ instead?
Why Jesus?
Didn't Jesus have special powers that the other prophets and the Mahdi don't?
Why is that?
Clearly, Muhammad made a distinction between Jesus and everyone else and contradicted himself.

All Muhammad proved was that he copied the story of Jesus' second coming from the Bible and kept it like he did many of the other stories the Bible told. Except, he managed to contradict himself and the Bible along the way in his poor interpretations of the Bible.
what contradictions?
The claims that Jesus made about his own life and his reason for being on earth.
That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise;-

You are trying to make sense of a religion claiming that Muhammad split the moon in half and flew to heaven on a winged horse. No can do.
Splitting of the moon
