Mohammad is actually the most important prophet in Islam.

FYI, when the Muslims captured regions, the inhabitants were allowed to practice their own religion as long as they paid a special tax.

This was only true in a few instances in Islam's history, and during those times, people of other religions were not allowed to convert muslims to their religion, or they would be executed for breaking Islamic law. They basically existed as second-class citizens and were executed if they tried to convert muslims.
Islam is not as tolerant a religion as everyone likes to think it is.
I am not claiming to be the end-all knower of all that is true about Islam, but it is the best (and nicest) way for me to express the way I feel about the religion (actually, if you ask me, Islam is a dangerous religion of intolerance and fear and is currently the greatest catalyst of international turmoil in the world today; just look at the hellhole the Middle East has become) (I know most of what I just said is an exaggeration, but it does make a guy wonder just how Islam can truly be the religion of "peace" and "tolerance" that everyone likes to say it is when it is so often used to recruit terrorists and oppress millions of people in countries all over the world; just what is it that Osama bin Laden seems to be "misinterpreting" all the time that moves men to blow themselves up in busy marketplaces?).
On a bit more unrelated note, the way I see it is both Jews and Christians worship the same God; Christians just believe that the messiah, Jesus Christ, has already come, while today's Jews don't believe that Jesus Christ was the messiah, except for Messianic Jews, of course.
It seems muslims, though, have taken bits and pieces from those two religions and created their own religion completely seperate from either of the two. I find it ironic how muslims use the Torah, Psalms, and "Gospel of Jesus," all major parts of the Bible, as sacred Islamic texts in addition to the Koran, when the Koran contradicts many of what is written in each of those documents.
