In the meantime, to answer your questions, there are clearly some big differences in the RE syllabus you followed and the one I followed. Age or location may be factors, or maybe you went to a church-aided school? It doesn't matter much anyway. RE is just RE, it's a lesson in school and unlikely to actually convert anyone to any particular religion in my experience. Even though one of our school's RE teachers was a URC minister ...
Regarding the number of Gods in the Christian faith, yes, there's only one. I suspect what's behind your question is a suspicion that I'm defending Muslims because I believe their religion is equally as correct as Christianity? That certainly isn't the case, anyway. Islam and Christianity make a number of claims about truth and the way to reach God that are incompatible with each other. They cannot both be right. I happen to believe that in these things, Christianity is right and Islam is wrong. However, just because I think Islam is wrong on some important issues, I don't deny Muslims the right to practice their religion and to ask to have their religious practices respected.
Crumbs, maybe we're not off topic after all!

Chris, I don`t deny anyones right to worship whatever they believe, I was just making a point about how this country has been brought up for thousands of years believing one thing and living by that and then to have another religion from another country take presedence (spelling) in our own country take over, just seems wrong. In their country we have to abide by their rules be it Islam or whatever.
