"I AM BORN MUSLIM A..."
According to the God of the Bible NOBODY is born a Muslim. We are born either Jew or Gentile.
"AND I WILL DIE AS MUSLIM"
I can see the incentive to remain Muslim since as an imam your fellow cultists will cut your head off for going renegade, infidel, apostate.
We all have to decide to make the choice of freedom from persecution and the comforts of this world, with eternal torment in the next. Or a life in Jesus Christ.

"PRIESTS LIKE HOMO SEX"
Some men have been guilty of molesting children too. These are the fruit of false doctrines of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
"WHICH CHRISTIANITY IS THE RIGHT ONE"
Those who follow Jesus Christ in truth, just as it has been since the first century. However ALL Christians - for 2,000 years, have understoond that Jesus Christ died on the cross to save all who have faith in His shed blood from sin.

"I spoke with Greek Orthodox priest..."
Why would you bother doing that when he is the very one whom you condemn by observing the fruit of his doctrine? (the false doctrine of celibacy of clergy)
1Ti 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife...
4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
"...and asked him why you Christians should say In the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit , why must be like that why you are not saying in the name of the Holy Spirit the Son and the Father ? He said it is blasphemy to say like that..."
How could that be when they are all ONE? They are all THE SAME BEING. Just like you - body, soul, spirit - what difference does the order make?
That being said, when I baptize I do use the order as it occurs in scripture, because that's the instruction as it occurs in scripture.

"...what was the name at that time of that place where is now Mecca?"
Where Mecca was eventually built was one of the most foreboding stretches of barren desert wasteland along the coast. There was absolutely no timber for building roofs etc. Early historians and geographers characterized it as "uninhabitable". Later it was the haunt of ruthless thieves who would rob caravans and kill everyone.
It wasn't until the Yemeni tribe of Khuzaa'h migrated there in the 4th century AD that Mecca began to be developed.

"Also tell me where were Ishmael ( PBUH )and his mother and where Abraham ( PBUH ) sent them to which land ? Did they were to New York?"
It's a cinch that one place THEY DIDN'T GO is Mecca. To believe that you would have to explain how they crossed 1,000 miles of entirely UNTRAVELED barren desert wasteland, with one skin of water.
Ishmael lived out his life in the wilderness of Paran, which is located north of Mt. Sinai (Mecca is 400 miles to the south of Mt. Sinai). Paran was between the River of Jordan and the south border of Canaan.
Deu 1:1 These [be] the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red [sea], between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

The history of Mecca, as you know it, and particularly the phony genealogies, were a pure fictional fabrication by Ibn Ishak. The rest of Islamic "historians" simply took his word for it and repeated it. There is NOT A SHRED of his CREATED history of Mecca to be found in the writings of prior historians or geographers. If you take issue with this please show me the HISTORICAL or ARCHAEOLOGICAL record.
