do you think that Jesus and or Muhammed were reincarnations of the Budda?

In texts, there is something called "Buddha Nature". Everyone has "Buddha Nature". It's our selfish egos that partially enable it. So it's not a matter of having it or not. It's not all or none.
Jesus and Muhammed didn't value their fickle egos, so their true nature led them so that they were motivated without interference from their dualistic, egotistical points of view. They were aware of, and in contact with their true Buddha Nature, God, faith, whatever you wanna call it.

I'm no scholar, but that's my answer for now. I hope its something to consider.

No. If the Buddha had reincarnated, that would mean that he himself had not attained his goal of enlightenment. Enlightenment is supposed to be the end of reincarnation. Think about it this way: let's say you've just graduated high school, and you're celebrating because you're done. You're done with school. You can go elsewhere. But then, you wake up the next day, and suddenly you realize you're a freshman again. That's what reincarnation is. Enlightenment is the release from all that. The release from life.
Anyway, Jesus wouldn't necessarily be considered a Buddha-like figure; if anything, he's more of a bodhisattva. Bodhisattvas make the ultimate sacrifice and stay behind, not reaching enlightenment in order to help others reach it.

No. Buddha spoke of the three marks of reality. The first mark is that that life is constant change. The important one to this question is the second: anatman or "no permanent identity" (soul, spirit, self). Buddha rejected the Hindu ideal that of an unchanging reality underlying everying. The atman. A person does not have an unchanging part, a soul or identity, so a person cannot have a re-incarnation. If some part of Buddha makes up a part of Jesus or Muhammed, that would be an incarnation, not a reappearance of what used to be.

No
Lord Buddha will never have more births,because he had understand the
truth of the life and the nature of the world.So he has gave up all his desires and he was enlightened.
Enlightned ones will never come to this world.

I doubt it. One needn't be an incarnation of the Buddha to be wise.
