There were no Muslims until Muhammed. He (and his people) were polytheistic, worshiping a variety of Gods (including Allah) and who did recognize a holy aspect to Judaism and Christianity. But to say Muhammed was Christian in the way that Jesus was Jewish is completely wrong. Jesus was born a Jew. Mary and Joesph and all his ancestors were Jewish. Muhammed had no Christian ancestors nor was he ever Christian. Having shared beliefs in no way makes Muhammed or any contemporary Muslim a Christian.
