This was one of the things I learned while I studied that Christianity as we know it is far from the beliefs of the earliest followers of Jesus. Perhaps that is why the Quran never mentions the Arabic word for Christian(Masihi) but always refers to the followers of Jesus as "Nasara" which has puzzled Christians and even some Muslims who are dumb. The reality is that the followers of the Jesus movement never called themselves Christians but Nazareans as history tells us. Sometimes they were referred to as Ebionites but this word means "poor" because they were living in poverty and this group was also highly taxed by the Romans.

It is a fact that Christians were calling themselves "Masihi" during the time of Muhammad but he wasn't concerned over them because he must have known these are clowns but he was more interested in the early followers, the faithful, those who learned from the master himself and not from Roman agent who may have never even have been a Jew. The Nasara were really just an Orthodox Jewish movement which continued following the old school faith and were very pro-Moses and Torah. Some of these early movements which were closer to Jesus had managed to escape Roman persecution by heading east toward Meopotamia and perhaps that can explain why so many of the eastern Christians became Muslim early on and not because they were forced as Aprim likes to claim.

The problem is that Christians cover up and lie about their own religion so it's hard to know what all went on but a little info is available and leaking. I believe that Paul(Saul) was the one who killed the leader of the Jesus movement and that is why he changed his name after that. I would have changed my name too if I just killed an important figure.
