Please, I want an honest opinion and as much as possible islamic people only. By this way we christians will know their sentiments and to bridge whatever small gap we do have. We unite our beliefs.

in islam , jesus is a high ranked prophet of Allah ..
Imam Bukhari(d.256/834)and Imam Muslim(d.261/839)have narrated that the prophet Muhammad said,
"Both in this world and in the hereafter, I am the nearest of all the people to Jesus, the son of Maryam (Mary). The prophets are paternal brothers, their mothers are different but their religion is one."

Jesus (Peace be upon Him) is a noble Prophet.
He is the son of Mary (Peace be upon Her), who was a chaste woman and a virgin.
The angel Gabriel (Peace be upon Him) blew into the sleeve of Mary (Peace be upon Her), and that was the way Jesus (Peace be upon Him) was concieved.
He (Peace be upon Him) was not a burden to his mother.
He (Peace be upon Him) spoke from the cradle, when he was still a baby.
He was able to perform miracles with the help of God.
He was not killed, but was raised up to Heaven.
He will descend before the end of the world and will slay the anti-christ.
He will live for forty years as a Muslim and will marry and have children.

They think he wasn't crossed but god made another man crossed that just look like him . And he is still alive in heaven . When it's the end of time he will return to earth and fight with someone called "Al-Mahdee" and then gain back Jerusalem .

Muslims respect and venerate Jesus Christ. They consider him to be one of God's greatest messengers to humankind. The Qur'an re-affirms his miraculous birth and his miraculous abilities. Furthermore, his mother Mary is regarded as one of the most pure and exalted women of all creation. As the Qur'an says:
"Behold! the angel said: 'God has chosen you and purified you and has chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary! God gives you the good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and the hereafter, and one of those brought near to God" (3:42).
Islam regards its teachings to be a re-affirmation and culmination of the teachings of previous monotheistic religions like Judaism and Christianity. Hence, all Muslims believe in Moses and Jesus as Prophets of God. Prophet Muhammad was commanded to recite in the Qur'an:
"Say, we believe in God and that which was revealed unto us, and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob, and the tribes and that which was entrusted unto Moses and Jesus and the Prophets from their Lord We make no distinction between any of them and unto Him we have submitted" (3:84).
A Muslim never refers to him simply as "Jesus", but always adds the phrase "upon him be peace." The Qur'an confirms his virgin birth, and an entire surah (chapter) of the Qur'an is entitled "Mary." The Qur'an describes the Annunciation as follows:
"She said: 'O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' He said: 'Even so; God creates what He wills. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, "Be!" and it is.'" (Qur'an 3:42-7)
Jesus was born miraculously through the same power that had brought Adam into being without a father: "Truly the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was." (Qur'an 3:59)
During his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. The Qur'an tells us that he said: "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, a figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by God's leave." (Qur'an 3:49)
Neither Muhammad nor Jesus came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in One God, brought by earlier prophets, but to confirm and renew it. In the Qur'an, Jesus is reported as saying that he came: "To attest the law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me." (Qur'an 3:50)
