** If possible this question is for hailstorm-ga or pinkfreud-ga **

Who is a more credible 'leader' and/or inspirer of faith - Mohammed
(pbuh) or Jesus.

From what I have read Jesus performs more miracles and 'acts of god'
than Mohammed (pbuh) - which if comparing the two would put him
streaks ahead.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

I am neither hailstorm-ga nor pinkfreud-ga :)   but I think most
researchers will agree with me on this one; what you're asking can
(and has!) filled books upon books. Therefore, in order to answer it
well, I respectfully suggest your question will require more time and
effort than the average amount of time and effort associated with this
price.

On the other hand, it is also possible to answer very simply and say
that each is the more credible and inspiring to his followers, and not
sufficiently credible or inspiring to those who do not follow. Perhaps
the real question centres more on what is the difference between the
followers of these two individuals, and secondly what is the
difference between those who follow either of them and those who do
not follow at all.

haram,

I am honored to be singled out in your request. However, my answers on
religion questions to date have had more to do with the theory of
religion and existances of almighty beings rather than with the
specifics of certain religious faiths, so I don't feel qualified to
answer this question.

I would say that from what I see on TV news reports and the like, the
follows of Mohammed seem to be more zealous than those of Jesus, but
this is just an overall observation that I do not have confidence in
stating as fact, or even personal opinion.

I agree with kriswrite-ga that this subject has and can fill books. 
Indeed it has filled libraries over the ages, and the debate
continues.  As a Christian I am likely prejudiced somewhat in my
ability to be objective.  However, I have studied not only my own
faith from numerous theological perspectives, but read the Koran,
taken a class taught by Jihan Sadat (the widow of Anwar Sadat,
assassinated President of Egypt), a lovely and devout Muslim woman who
taught us much about her faith, and read endlessly on the subject of
world religions, delving into as much theology as my brain could
stand.  I've thought long and hard on the subject and, from a vantage
point of half a century of seeking and study (admittedly a short time
for such a subject), come up with one main conclusion that seems to me
to set Christianity apart to stand alone and totally unique among
religions.

That conclusion is that Christianity is the only religion which claims
that God, the Supreme Being, Yahweh, Allah, whatever you want to call
him, came to earth Himself and lived among us in the form of one of
his own creatures, namely the man Jesus.  In Christian theology, Jesus
is not merely a prophet or teacher or rabbi - he is God himself in
human form, fully human and fully divine at the same time.  This is
the central teaching and great mystery of Christianity, which, because
of this mystery, is unlike any other religion.

Islam on the other hand, while it claims to worship the same God as
Christians and Jews, and no doubt does, denies the divinity of Jesus,
claiming him only as a human prophet, and placing Muhammed as a
further prophet, superseding Jesus in both time and enlightenment. 
They see Islam as a culmination of the divine revelation that began
with Judaism, continued with Christianity, and is now completed by the
teachings of Muhammed.

Therefore, the main difference between Jesus and Muhammed, in the eyes
of their followers and according to the theologies of the world's
great religions is that Jesus was human AND divine, God incarnate,
while Muhammed, however great a leader and teacher, was still only
human.

Obviously, there are those who will not agree, nor see it that way, so
this too is only a comment.  But I'm glad the question has people
thinking.  :-)
