By using descriptive analysis,this research describes the Christian Criticisms on the Quran during the early ages of Umayyad Caliphate (661-750) and the Abbasid caliphate (750-1258) and the political and educational life of John and the presentation of his works.Through one of his main work,namely, ‘the Heresy of the Ishmaelite’,the heresies about the Quran,prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and Islam are represented.The similar ideas found in the other Christians apologies which not only discussed the misunderstanding but also propagate the ideas during the crusade.

Consequently, this research can be concluded as follows. Firstly, the misunderstanding of the Quran,prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and Islam comes from the text,doctrine or discipline,written to defend Christianity; secondly,this affects personally to Christians and unaware Muslimms; thirdly,the misunderstanding may also affect educated Christians,laymen,church leaders,who,determine to interpret biblical text freely, with their personal exegesis and ultimately incorrectly.From this interpretation they may deduce and sustain a new doctrine about the Quran,prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and Islam that fills with religious fanaticism and extremism.
