You are conflating two issues.
One, that Islam was initially a hybrid Christian/Jewish sect juxtaposed against the Orthodox Christian is pretty much agreed upon by secular scholars, although the Muslims reject this hypothesis for religious purposes. As both links indicate.
Two, that Mohammed, if he existed, was from a Christian family, whether he had been baptized we will never know but he would be one strange pagan, why would a pagan know the bible so well? He could of been Jewish too, except that Mecca was a mostly Christian city. Also, Waraka ibn Nawfal, Mohammed's cousin/uncle/relative was a Christian priest and was the first person to recognize Mohammed as a prophet. Waraka died a Christian, by the way.
Islam was not a hybrid sect, what Islam / Mohammad did was to hijack the two dominant religions, and then mix it with it's own moon god pagan religion. Why do you think the Crescent Moon is it's symbol? What Mohammad knew of the Bible was from a little Jewish girl he captured and then he forced her to marry him. She told him what she knew which didn't amount to much, and the rest of the shit Mohammad made up. Then he made her write it. So in essence the Koran was written by a Jew!
****Safiyyah: Muhammads War Booty
An example of Muhammads questionable ethics is his marriage to a seventeen-year-old Jewish girl named Safiyyah whom he took from the plunder of Khaibar:
Narrated Abdul Aziz:
Anas said, "When Allah's Apostle invaded Khaibar, we offered the Fajr prayer there (early in the morning) when it was still dark. The Prophet rode and Abu Talha rode too and I was riding behind Abu Talha. The Prophet passed through the lane of Khaibar quickly and my knee was touching the thigh of the Prophet. He uncovered his thigh and I saw the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet. When he entered the town, he said, Allahu Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. Whenever we approach near a (hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the morning of those who have been warned. He repeated this thrice. The people came out for their jobs and some of them said, Muhammad (has come). (Some of our companions added, With his army.) We conquered Khaibar, took the captives, and the booty was collected. Dihya came and said, O Allah's Prophet! Give me a slave girl from the captives. The Prophet said, Go and take any slave girl. He took Safiya bint Huyai. A man came to the Prophet and said, O Allah's Apostle! You gave Safiya bint Huyai to Dihya and she is the chief mistress of the tribes of Quraiza and An-Nadir and she befits none but you. So the Prophet said, Bring him along with her. So Dihya came with her and when the Prophet saw her, he said to Dihya, Take any slave girl other than her from the captives." Anas added: "The Prophet then manumitted her and married her."***
Your hallucinations don't mean diddly squat. Even Muslims would laugh at you if you said "Mohammad came from a Christian family", or perhaps they might even kill you for slandering Mohammad. LOL
You are just too easy. Why don't you do some research first. As a wise man once said:
"It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it."
Of course Muslims would deny that Islam was originally considered a Christian sect.
The Crescent Moon was the symbol of Byzantium (Goddess Diana) and later Istanbul and wasn't adopted by the Muslims until the fall of Byzantium in 1453. Mohammed knew nothing about the Crescent Moon. I can't believe the level of disinformation you spout.
Now to clean up your disinformation:
"
Why would Islam which emerged in Arabia in the 7th century take as divinely inspired, a set of books only the Jews (and Christians) believed so, at a period when they were a weak, small nation conquered and occupied by the Roman Empire and then its successor, the Byzantine empire, with most of them scattered and bullied around Europe?
The only logical answer was that it was initially a religion that believed in some of the Jews holy books.
That is, it was a Christian sect.
Because of the rise of Islam in the Middle East most people think that that region of the world had been Islamic every since they were inhabited by men. Not so. Christianity had spread in the Middle East in the first several centuries of its founding, as much as it did in Europe.
But we have to remember that before Christianity was firmly established as the state religion of the Roman Empire, there were many Christianities, different contrasting versions of Christianity, ranging from one that believed that Jesus Christ was simply a kind of Gods avatar (in the way the term was used in the Avatar movie) to one that believed that he was just a prophet."
