Chrislam

Chrislam /ˈkrɪslɑːm/, is a syncretic religion based in Nigeria. It is defined by William Lane Craig as "neither Christianity nor Islam", referring to certain interfaith branches of Christianity and Islam. "Chrislamic" Christian sects would be those which reject the position of John of Damascus on Muhammad viewing him instead as an inspired Christian graced with the spiritual gift of prophecy. "Chrislamic" sects of Islam would be those which reject any interpretation of the Quran causing contradiction with the Christian Bible faith. The views are very similar to those expressed by the Nestorian Catholicos-Patriarch Timothy I of Baghdad in his famous "Apology for Christianity". Nevertheless, critics describe these sects as a new syncretic religion which mixes elements of Christianity and Islam.
