Muslims are anti-Christian, in-so-far as they oppose the Church
Muslims are not the only Church-opposing anti-Christians on earth

Muslims are certainly not the only antichrists. Communism is another doctrine that can't stand the light of truth. Let alone random atheists, agnostics and such. Today 53 nations ban or restrict the Bible and/or Christian materials, most of which are Islamic and a few others of which are communist.

However Muslims are the ONLY group that follow A FALSE PROPHET that EACH AND EVERY ONE OF WHICH is NECESSARILY ANTICHRIST as an ARTICLE OF THEIR FAITH in the false prophet Muhammad. That's 1/4 of mankind that are also required to DISBELIEVE the crucifixion of Christ, and DENY the Son of God, and REJECT His shed blood, AS ARTICLES OF FAITH in THE false prophet Muhammad. That's 1.5 billion people that are taught that to confess that Jesus is the Son of God, or even pray in Jesus' name, is to commit the single most egregious - and ONLY UNFORGIVABLE SIN ("shirk") - as compared to child rape, or cold blooded mass murder, for example, which may be forgiven.
Sura 19:88 They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" 89 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:
Surah 9.29 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. 30 The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
1John 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
Surah 4:157 That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Satan's messenger, THE false prophet Muhammad, filled his followers with complete resolve as to what to DISBELIEVE and DENY and REJECT. Islam is to Christianity as the negative is to a photograph. The ONLY ANTI-A-SPECIFIC-RELIGION CULT ON EARTH.
Commanded to conquer all kingdoms, and subjugate all people to DISBELIEVING the crucifixion of Christ, DENYING the Son of God and REJECTING His shed blood as articles of their faith in the false prophet Muhammad alone.
Bukhari, V1 B2 #24 Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives an property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."
Which conquest they've nearly completed in John's "whole world". Particularly in recent years in conjunction with the forces of anti-Zionism that work toward the same end that Muhammad, Hitler and every other anti-Semite has had - persecution and genocide of Jews.
Sahih Bukhari B52 #177 Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "the Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
In other words, through an ethnographic hermeneutic, nearly John's "whole world" has already been conquered by the "beast" and is marked by the name of the Islamic beast - TODAY.

Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast {Islam - Muslim}, or the number {666} of his name.
the global inter-national opposition to the Church comports with the End Times of Apostasy (Rev 20:7-9)
if the "Beast" is a symbol, then so is the "false Prophet of the Beast" a symbol-- you cannot claim one is symbolic, but the other is literal
you do not need to mis-construe Revelation, to observe hostility, between Muslims & Christians. What are you seeking to accomplish?? You do not need Revelation's chance mention, of a "false Prophet", to notice that Islam has been opposing the Church, for over a thousand years.
The Islamic conquest of Constantinople in 1453 AD "unbound Satan" (Rev 20:7), who has since recruited a global khabbal of anti-Christian opposition to the Church, e.g. Karl Marxism. Revelation makes no direct mention of Muhammad, as a Prophet of "God in heaven", or otherwise. And, there is no need to try to force Muhammad into Revelation. Nothing Islam has done, has failed to fulfill the "Revelation chronology". The Islamic conquest of Constantinople occurred "on Divine time", after (about) a thousand years, of Constantinople's reign on earth. And, at the same time, the Renaissance arose in Italy, the Reformation across Europe, secular humanism becoming Communism, etc., (at least some of) which Islam supported, if anybody cares. All also "on Divine time".
Courtesy of everybody obeying what they claim "God in heaven" told them, severally, mankind now stands at Rev 20:9a.
Muhammad is not directly mentioned in Revelation, and trying to force him in there, is a waste of your time. Revelation focuses on the Christian world; through the Apostle John, "God in heaven" was promising persecuted Christians, of the 1st century AD, an ultimate victory over the pagan Roman empire (= Rev 19). Revelation ignores the rest of the world, until the Christian world is intruded upon, ending the Christian Millennium (= Rev 20:1-6), and un-binding Satan (= Rev 20:7). Seemingly, if subtly, Revelation implies that, during the Christian Millennium, Satan engineers a "prison escape" by appealing out beyond the borders of Christendom, to "Gog & Magog" everywhere else. But that is reading into the text. All Revelation states, is that the Christian Millennium ends, Satan is un-bound, and recruits "Gog & Magog" world-wde opposition vs. the Church. By the time Revelation takes a global perspective, the Christian Millennium has been ended, Satan un-bound, and basically everybody world-wide recruited into "Satan's earth-world-wide patronage network" of hand-outs, secret-side-incomes, and other bribes & trickeries. From the Revelation perspective, that "patronage network" includes Islam (at least from ~15th century AD), since Islam ended the Christian Millennium, and funded anti-Christian opposition to the Church, from then thru today.
