I'm a YouTube Apologist, fighting against the claims that Muhammad is prophecied in the Bible. So I'm replying to a movie made by this one Muslim, saying that Deuteronomy 18:15-19 is referring to Muhammad, and not Jesus. Now, I know Acts 3:20-23 says that it is Jesus referred to in Deuteronomy 18:15-19, and I will be using that in my video. But the Muslim focuses on the 'like unto you' part of the passage in Deuteronomy, trying to say that Moses and Muhammad are similar, while Jesus is dissimilar. So, I need all similarities between Moses and Jesus that Muhammad is dissimilar on. I've already got this list:

1. Both Moses and Jesus were saved from death when they were small children, while most other Israelite male children of the same age and place of birth were murdered.
2. Both Moses and Jesus were "called from Egypt".
3. Both Moses and Jesus "mediated" between Israel and the true God who is in Heaven, and revealed the things of God to Israel.
4. Both Moses and Jesus interceded for Israel, preventing the destruction of the nation.
5. Both Moses and Jesus fasted for 40 days.
6. Both spoke out against Israel's enemies and persecutors.
7. Both cleansed leprosy.
8. Both were used of God to feed Israel miraculously.
9. Both had the forces of nature obey them (the seas)
10. Both Moses and Jesus showed the glory of God. Moses reflected his glory temporarily. (Ex.34:29-35; 2 Cor.3:7-14) Jesus at the transfiguration, his face shown brighter than the sun revealing his true nature (Mt.17:2; Jn.1:14)
11. Both prayed for the people intercessory prayers and were willing to bear the consequences of the people's sins. Moses asked to be blotted out of the book of life for the peoples sake (Ex.32:32-33). Jesus asked for them to be kept from falling away (Jn. 17:9-17). Jesus asked for those to be forgiven while he bore the consequences in their stead. (Lk.23:34, 2 Cor.5:19, 1 Pt.2:21-24, Isa.53:8)
12. Both sprinkled the blood of the covenant on the altar and the people. Moses (Ex.24:7-8; Lev.8:19) Jesus (Heb.9,12:24; 1Pt.1:2)
13. Both brought deliverance to the Jewish people. Those who followed Moses out of the bondage of slavery to Egypt. (Ex.3:7-8,10;12:31-33,42) Jesus brought people out of a greater bondage, slavery to sin. (Rom.3:24-25,6:6-7,8:2-4; Eph.1:7;Heb.9:26)
14. Both had an angel guard their graves. After Moses died Michael the Arch-angel guarded his body. (Jude 9) And when Jesus rose an angel guarded his tomb. (Mt.26:2-6)
15. Both re-appeared after they died, Moses ( Mt 17:3 with Jesus before his death) Jesus (Acts 1:3)

I need more stuff that is similar between Moses and Jesus that Muhammad is dissimilar with. Please provide any information. Also, if you know anything about Muhammad, and my list makes a similarity between all 3 people, please tell me.

Also, I got some of these from sites, so if your going to copy&paste the same things I did, it probably won't help much.

Thanks for any help!
Patmos
The biggest similarity is they are both Jews.

And 40 days of fasting in loneliness. Moses did that on the mountain, on his own.
