It's weird how Christians believe Jesus and accept his New Testament, but they don 't believe Muhammad and accept his Qur'an. Why believe one seemingly outlandish story and not the other, amirite?

Probably, and I'm just going out on a limb here, because they're two different religions. You're a Christian because you believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. You wouldn't be a Christian if you also believed that Muhammad was.

Muslins totally believe that Jesus was a prophet, they also believe that he is one if the most important prophets aside grom Mohommed, Adam, Soloman, etc.

That's still where it differs. Muslims believe all of these people are prophets, Christians believe that Jesus is our savior.

No. In Islam, Jesus existed, but Muslims don't believe he was a prophet, or anything special.

Cause the bible tell them that the other is fake, and vice versa for the Qur'an.

There are hints to the coming of another prophet in the bible though.

The Quran doesn't really say the bible is fake. It says some things in the bible have been changed and there is a lot of truth in the bible.

It's what the person chooses to believe. The problem is when people aligned with one outlandish belief start attacking others because of their outlandish beliefs.

Like the others were saying, you could say this either way. It's all a matter of which religion you choose to follow.
Now, if a Christian were to call Islam "outlandish" or anything like that, and vice versa, that's when it starts becoming ridiculous, as MusicIsAGift was saying.

They are incompatible. You can't believe in them both, just like you can't believe that you are both a human and a space llama. You can't believe in the standard model AND string theory. They contradict one another. So if you are a person who chooses to believe in religion, you can't go around saying, "Yeah, I believe that Jesus is savior but I'm a Buddhist Muslim that prays to the Shinto Spirit Gods."

Who's read Life of Pi? I feel like that's really relevant here.

People indoctrinated into a particular religion at a young age tend to have a difficult time questioning their beliefs later in life... sometimes ignoring evidence is easier than changing your mind.
