Though there are theological and philosophical similarities, I would say the most significant differences are what scriptures they accept as being authoritative as well as how they see the person of Jesus....Muslims don't believe Jesus was crucified nor that he was raised from the dead, nor that his essence was divine/God (or at least in the same way Christians do). Muslims see Jesus as being only a prophet and venerate and respect him in that way. Christians traditionally do not accept Mohammed as a "true" prophet of God.
Having said all that, the differences you have with your friend may have little to do with theology if one or neither of you really know what you believe for yourselves. ;)

^^and bible says a neighbor working on sunday shall be put to death. Sorry bro, but if u gonna hate on one religion u gotta hate on all. Only difference is that radical muslims take their book more seriously and literally
The biggest difference (contrary to the politically correct line) is the GOD they worship.
The primary difference is that they believe Jesus was a Prophet, even the Messiah for the Jews, but not God. They believe, as Jews do, that God is One, and only One, not Three-in-One. As Christians and Jews, they trace their faith back to Abraham and worship God Almighty (Allah in Arabic, El Shaddai in Hebrew). They believe that the people kept getting the message of the story wrong and that God kept sending prophets to correct them. Whereas Christians traditionally believe the last Prophet was Jesus as God Incarnate, Muslims believe God's last Prophet was Muhammed.
What Christians do you talk to that think that Jesus was the last prophet?
Obviously they don't read/believe God's Word :
Acts 21:10; 11:27; 13:1; 15:32; 21:9,10; 1John 4:1; (1 Cor. 14:32,37; 1 Timothy 4:14 ), etc. These passages clearly show that at least for a few years after Jesus left this earth that there were prophets.
I think too many people misunderstand Islam I am a Muslim Islam never ever say kill people who are not Muslim and here is a fact about that prophet Mohamad's neighbor was a Jewish and he used to visit him when he gets sick and I have more facts about that if u wanna know more and me in Facebook ( Emad Canada ) do not judge Islam by the actions of Muslims but by the holy book of Islam and what prophet Mohamad said what we call ( Hadith )
Please do not forget to add me if u wanna learn about Islam or u have a question
Thank you
There are lots of differences. Outside the normally recounted ones (different view of what is authoritative as far as being scripture, the name of God, views of whether Jesus is the promised Jewish Messiah, etc.) there are customs/traditions that vary - Ramadan, Hanakuh, Easter, as well as methods/modes of worship, and even times of worship.
