Wrong. Muslims definately think they believe in the same g-d as christian faiths, but they don't. Their are huge fundamental differences between the two. Muslims believe in Ala, and chritians believe in Jehovah...their different, no matter what muslin propoganda you read...
That's just you being selfish. They might use a different name and have different theology, but it's all talking about the same thing.
The only Muslim "propaganda" I've studied is the Koran, and if you want to call that propaganda then the Bible is just as much propaganda.

I didn't say we should teach Creation. I would rather have nothing taught at all then either or.
It's science. It's a secular pursuit. If you don't want to learn science in a public school then don't go to a public school.

No, not everything in science is a theory. A lot of things in science are factual, some things are theoretical though. The government is crossing the line when they start teaching unessexary things that go against anyone's religion.
A scientific "law" is only a law because it hasn't been proven wrong yet. It's all theories in that there is a huge body of evidence in support of them, but there is still a possibility for contrary evidence to be found.

Private school? Well yeah there is that option but the problem is in the middle / high schools now.
If you think the problem is that public schools are teaching science, then you're never going to get your way. The government is totally separate from any sort of religious instutution so therefore it is not responsible for refraining from teaching science that perhaps casts doubt upon people's religion. If you don't like evolution then stay out of the public school system, because that's never going to change.

Your opinion.
A fact is something that is univerally accepted to be true. While your faith tells you that the Bible is true, not everybody believes it is. It hasn't been proven as fact through the same means as all other facts, so it can't be used as a source of fact.

Well seeing as to how I have sudied many religions I have to poke at your comment here.
Muslims believe in Allah which would be the Christian equivelent of Jesus...a profit sent to teach the word of the greater being.
If you ever hear a christian use the name Jehovah in a sermon or conversation I would be highly surprised.....the only religions I know of that use that name or any rendition of it are the Jehovahs Witnesses and in the Jewiwish faith which is pronounced (phonetically) Ye-ho-wah and is used sparingly in the Jewish community if I remember right (correct me if I am wrong).
The Catholics have never acknowledged the use of gods name aside from "Lord", "Father" etc. which are all titles and not a name.
Allah is basically G-d. Muhammad is more similar to a Jesus figure but Muslims don't believe he will at some point be reincarnated and save the world.
The common Jewish usage is pronounced "ah-doh-nai." In going with why I keep writing G-d, it is usually written with the Hebrew characters that phoenetically would spell out "ya-weh" when badly transliterated into English.
