The Talmud also states: "Righteous people of all nations have a share in the world to come" (Sanhedrin 105a). Any non-Jew who lives according to these laws is regarded as one of "the righteous among the gentiles". Maimonides states that this refers to those who have acquired knowledge of God and act in accordance with the Noahide laws.

This is I guess what Jews and Muslims believe...that Salvation can be earned...Earned by keeping certain commands or killing infidels... |
There is only minimal equation between Jewish laws of blasphemy and Islamic laws.
How did you draw another conclusion from the above quote?
BTW, just a reminder, for your point of view:
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
- Matthew 12:31 (KJV)

Either way it is of works...So I guess a person could boast of himself he earned his way to heaven.

I fail to comprehend what your point is here.

Love was the only command given to Christians.Salvation can't be earned, it is a gift. One cannot "Aquire" the knowledge of God, one must be chosen.,. then choose to receive it.
Matthew 11
[27] All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

You know, you have yet to respond to my earlier questions regarding the verses in Deuteronomy and how Christians could possibly hold there's anything worthwile respecting in the Torah, known to you as the Old Testament.

I sincerely hope you're not violating the spirit of the book you claim to believe in:
Ye [Jews] are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye [Jews] will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
- John 8:44 (KJV)
