Both religions consist of some sadistic deity who will torture you slowly and painfully for the rest of eternity.
But the differance between the Prophets are great, and basic ones are rather obvious.
First one is that Jesus tried to change the already existing laws of a religion (Judaism) into something more hippie like, while Muhammad tried to incorporate everything about Pagan Arabian religion, plus himself as a leader.
Some other differances include -
Muhammad lead raids and battles, while Jesus didn't.
Also Muhammad was recorded in the holy books(Hadith), by Muslims themselves to be a paedo, while Jesus was not recorded to be a paedo.
Muhammad was recorded, by Muslims, in holy book to have tortured and killed, while Jesus was not recorded to have tortured and killed.
Muhammad was recorded by Muslims and historians to have been a warlord, while Jesus was not recorded to be a warlord.
etc...etc...etc...
They are generally very different anyway - not sure why we're comparing them to begin with?
While I do not agree with anything Muhammad did, said, nor do I agree with his existance, that does not however prove devinity of Jesus.
In fact, Muhammad had nothing to do with Jesus...provided that is what you were trying to prove.

This is very true. Jesus is God, God the Son, the Creator.

There is nothing fictional about Jesus Christ and the Bible. Jesus Christ is the true God and eternal Life.

There is nothing sadistic about God. God is Love and He so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. If you go to Hell and ultimately the lake of fire for eternity it will be by your own choosing.

Jesus is more than a Prophet, He is God in the flesh.
First one is that Jesus tried to change the already existing laws of a religion (Judaism) into something more hippie like, while Muhammad tried to incorporate everything about Pagan Arabian religion, plus himself as a leader.
Jesus said that He came to seek and to save that which was lost (i.e. all of sinful humanity is lost without Christ) and to fulfill the law of Moses, not change it into something hippie-like. This is your unfounded characterization.

Jesus came to give His life a ransom for many so that we could be reunited with God our true Father.
Also Muhammad was recorded in the holy books(Hadith), by Muslims themselves to be a paedo, while Jesus was not recorded to be a paedo.
Jesus left the glories of Heaven and His throne in Heaven in the volume of the Book that is written of Him to do His Father's will. The Father's will is that all should come to repentance and salvation from sin and receive everlasting life, not everlasting punishment.
Muhammad was recorded, by Muslims, in holy book to have tortured and killed, while Jesus was not recorded to have tortured and killed.
Judas, one of Jesus' disciples, sought opportunity to betray Jesus so he went to the chief priests. Upon receiving thirty pieces of silver in exchange for Jesus' whereabouts, Judas led a detachment of troops, officers from the chief priests and Pharisees to where Jesus and His disciples were. Judas and his cohorts had come there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. Simon Peter, one of Jesus' foremost disciples, drew his sword and struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear. Immediately, Jesus commanded Peter to put his sword in its sheath. The servant's name was Malchus. Jesus touched Malchus' ear and healed him.
In another instance Jesus had steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem and sent messengers ahead to a village of the Samaritans to prepare for Him. But the Samaritan people did not receive Jesus because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem. The disciples James and John saw this and asked Jesus if He wanted them to command fire to come down from Heaven and consume them. Here is what Jesus said and did:
Luke 9:55
But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of.
So, yes, Jesus went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Moreover, Jesus had compassion on multitudes of people and He ministered to them, healed them, comforted them, fed them, delivered them from demon possession, and even raised them from the dead.
Muhammad was recorded by Muslims and historians to have been a warlord, while Jesus was not recorded to be a warlord.
The Lord Jesus said,
Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
The prophet Isaiah spoke this prophecy concerning Jesus hundreds of years in advance:
Isaiah 9:6-7
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will beno end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
The Lord Jesus Christ is called, Prince of Peace.

I am doing this comparative analysis of Jesus Christ and Muhammad (i.e. Mohammed) so that people can make as informed a decision as possible, whomever they choose to follow. Jesus said the following words:
John 8:12
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
John 12:35
Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
So Jesus is the Light of the world, and those who follow Jesus Christ will not walk in darkness.
While I do not agree with anything Muhammad did, said, nor do I agree with his existance, that does not however prove devinity of Jesus.
In fact, Muhammad had nothing to do with Jesus...provided that is what you were trying to prove.
Jesus said,
John 10:17-18
“Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”
Jesus proved His divinity by the things that He did and said. Jesus Christ forgave sins while on earth, received worship, walked on water, rebuked the wind and raging water (and they obeyed Him). In addition to all of this, Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
