Islam is not an offshoot or a result of Christianity.
The quote below, about Muhammed, from
this website gives the beginning of Islam.
Quote:
In his forties, he began to retire to meditate in a cave on Mount Hira, just outside Mecca, where the first of the great events of Islam took place. One day, as he was sitting in the cave, he heard a voice, later identified as that of the Angel Gabriel, which ordered him to:“Recite: In the name of thy Lord who created, Created man from a clot of blood.” (Quran 96:1-2)
