"Early in his career, Mohammed did try to win Jews over as converts with a "nice guy approach" by pointing to the Koran and saying, "See, this book is just like your Torah and I am a prophet just like your Moses."
I agree with most of what you write, but have never heard of that one before. Care to give us some references?
