Mohammed did the same thing. It's how many religions branch off.

    Wait could you explain that one more?

    I read his biography before and explicitly remember him becoming a Muslim at 40.

    Before that he was either hanif or agnostic depending on sources but I don't remember him following Judaism.

    Judaism, Christianity and Islam all are abrahemitic religions and share the same roots, so pretty much, yes

    Although I'm not that versed with the story of Mohammed

    Edit: basically Islam and Christianity developed out of Judaism, but they differ in who they see as the promised Messiah

    I don't think so, but Islam was heavily influenced by Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and Sabianism back in the day if they meant that.

    Sabianism is interesting, because I've read (don't recall the source, sorry!) that they had a chance to convert to Islam or die, so they became "technically" Muslim, without really being Muslim. I don't really know though, but if you can toss me any educational links about it, I'd really appreciate it.
