I did! But then I read the Koran. No i'm not a Muslim by the way, i'm a Catholic but after all the talk about people taking the Koran to the letter i felt i had to read it. It's beautifully written by the way and it led me to read about Muhammad and his wives, mostly Aisha. I think Islam (If you read the Koran has to be one of te most peaceful and charitable religions on this earth. Sadly many extremists have given it a very bad name, and it is very sad.

Muslims claim a shared history with Judaism up until Abraham, thus they acknowledge Moshe's existance and importance.
Muslims also acknowledge that Yeshua existed, similar to many Jews. Also, muslims say that Yeshua was a good man, and some say he was a prophet as well but his words and deeds were twisted by men and that the final and true word of G-d was revealed to Mohammed.
As far as the divinity of Yeshua and how Muslims view this, I know some that say Yeshua was a man, a good one, a prophet even, but not the son of G-d. Moshe brought the Law to the people, those Laws exist and are still followed to this day. Islam may acknowledge Moshe and the Law of G-d, but one must keep in mind that in Islam the final word of G-d was revealed in the Quaran. The Muslim does not follow the same Laws as the Jews, much as the christian does not follow the same laws as the Jews. Similar yes, derived from a common history yes, but the same? No. Each is different in its own way.

I knew Issa (Jesus) is considered a prophet for Muslims.
Most of the characters in the Old testament of the Christian Bible are part of the Muslim tradition, such as Abraham ( Ibrahim). In fact, this last and his history with the lamb is very known among them.

what is it to believe that a man exsited that is nothing, but to believe that a man was born not as a mere man, but as the only begotten son of God. Being the only and true Christ, the Messiah, the annionted one, the coming king, the great I am, the alpah the omega, the Son of Man, and the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Lion of Judah, the Son of David, and the Son of God. Believing He was theese things and believing that He is your only way to Heaven and believing that He died for the sins we commit and beliveing that He is your salvation that is what matters, becuase I believe that muhhammed existes, but that doesn't mean I believe anything else about him.

Muslims do believe that Isa (A.S.) was sent down as a Prophet of Allah (God), but he (Jesus) is not God or Lord, nor the son of God. Muslims do not believe that Isa (A.S.), also known as Jesus by Christians and others, is dead or was ever crucified. They believe that he was raised to heaven and is there, and will descend at the appointed time, end all wars, and bring peace to the world. Like Jesus (A.S.), Muhammad is also a Prophet and Messenger.
Islam and the Koran deny the crucifixion of Jesus.
The New Testament clearly and repeatedly says (in the words of the Apostles' Creed) that Jesus Christ was crucified, dead, and buried. The third day He arose from the dead . (Also see all four Gospels.)
1 Corinthians 15:3-8 " [3] For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, [4] that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, [5] and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. [6] After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. [7] Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, [8] and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born."
Koran Sura (Chapter) 4 verse 157 "But they killed him [Christ] not nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them. They killed him not. Nay, God raised him up unto himself."
The Koran expressly says that Christ was neither crucified nor killed by some other means. God raised him directly up into Heaven, (as He did with Elijah). The Koran claims that God participated in a fraud or delusion on the witnesses.
Islam and the Koran deny the deity of Jesus.
The New Testament says that Jesus is Lord and God:
John 10:30 "I and the Father are one."
John 10:24-25 [24] The Jews gathered around him, saying, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." [25 Jesus answered, "I did tell you, but you do not believe."
John 14:9 "... Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. ..."
Koran Sura 5 verse 78 "Christ, the Son of Mary, was no more than an apostle."
Koran Sura 5 verse 75 "They do blaspheme who say God is Christ, the Son of Mary."
Islam and the Koran deny the Triune nature of God.
The Great and Enduring Heresy of Mohammed – Mohammed, a pagan who recognized the imperfections of paganism, founded the religion of Islam by extracting from Christianity (Catholicism) some of its doctrine. Not having the gift of faith, Mohammed, having lived among Catholics for much of his life and gaining knowledge of the established teachings of Christianity but not having an association with the reality of faith, selected from Christian teachings those aspects that he could accept that would still give him the opportunity to be seen as a great prophet and religious leader. As common with those who found their own belief system, Mohammed selectively included many beliefs that met with his own humanistic criteria, goals and desire for power while keeping an imaginary relationship with God.

Believing that Jesus was a prophet versus believing He is the messiah, the anointed son of God seems to be the dividing factor

I knew and believe that- cardinal to my faith anyway. Unfortunately, those who needed this information most- the Jew and the Xtns- enjoy reading this with a different meaning or not putting any meaning to it at all.
The essence of the story was lost and the lessons in their lives where lost.
Pity Jews and Xtns.

Yes, i knew that. There are a few religions who acknowledge the existence and teachings of Jesus without worshipping him as the 'main man' so to speak.
