Muslims do not have a special name for Christian churches. In Arabic, the word for Church is Kenisa (كنيسة), but only Arab Muslims use that word. Non-Arab Muslims use whatever word exists in their language to describe churches.
As for Muslims themselves, they do not have churches. An Islamic house of worship is called a "Mosque" in English. In Arabic, there are two names for such a structure: Jame'a (جامع) also Latinized in Turkish as Camii refers to a large Mosque and Masjid (مسجد) also Latinized in Turkish as Mescid which refers to a smaller community building. Muslims in the mosque; during praying; face the direction of Kaaba in Makkah (or Mecca) in Saudi Arabia.
