There is a new ecumenical blending of religion taking place under the lie that "we all worship the same God, and that there are many paths to that God". It is called Chrislam.
It probable origin is Muslim born Shamsuddin Saka of Nigeria ” it was after returning from a Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca that he was inspired – he says instructed by God – to launch his new ministry: “That was about 19 years ago. I was praying and I [laid] down and the Lord told me, make peace between Christian and Muslim.”
Now let me stop here to say that Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". John 14:6 That should settle the matter that there is only one path, not many. There is no possible way that Islam is compatible with Christianity. This is nothing more than the continuing emergence of The Great Harlot of Revelation:
REV 17:3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5 This title was written on her forehead:
MYSTERY
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
REV 17:6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.
Many years ago I was reading a book on cults. I notice that they all had certain similarities. One of which I called the "preparation for the AntiChrist". They were all looking for, or had claimed to have found, a future leader/messiah/savior. They were preparing their converts to accept and worship the coming AntiChrist of the Bible.
How does that relate to Islam/Chrislam? Islam too is waiting a future leader/messiah/savior. Shiite Islam's spiritual leaders are called Imams. They are supposed to be able to trace their bloodlines back to the Prophet Muhammad's cousin Ali. There is a prophecy of a comming "twelfth Imam - Muhammad al-Mahdi". Here is a list of the things the he is supposed to do and be. the relation to the Bible's version of the AntiChrist is obvious:
1.Islam's primary awaited savior
2.Descendant of Muhammad
3.Caliph and Imam of Muslims worldwide (at present there are many)
4.Unparalleled political, military, and religious world leader
5.Revealed after a period of great turmoil and suffering on earth
6.Establishes justice throughout the world
7.Leads a revolution to establish a new world order
8.Will go to war against all nations who oppose him.
9.Makes a seven year peace treaty with a Jew of priestly lineage
10.Conquers Israel for Islam and leads final battle against the Jews
11.Rules for seven years in Jerusalem
12.Causes Islam to be the only religion on earth
13.Discovers biblical manuscripts that convince Jews to convert
14.Brings Ark of the Covenant from the Sea of Galilee to Jerusalem
15.Has power from Allah over wind, rain, crops
16.Will possess and distribute great wealth
17.Face will shine like a star and will be loved by all

Here is an excellent site that describes what Chrislam is and where it probably originated. It is worth the read.
