Jesus
So far about Noah, Joseph and Moses. Let's have a quick look at the Jesus of the Qur'an as well. I don't remember where it was, but somewhere I read that Muhammad said something like "of all the prophets I am most like Jesus." And in other sources, he reported saying:
"The prophets are brothers of different mothers, but their religion is one. Of all men I am the most deserving to be the brother of Jesus Son of Mary, for there was no prophet between me and him." [Al Hendy, Kanzol 'Ummal, Vol. 17, Hadith No. 1033]
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all the people to Jesus, the son of Mary. The prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 652]
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
The Prophet (PBUH) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (PBUH) [Sunan of Abu Dawud,Book 37, Number 4310]

Islam would love for people to believe that Christianity is similar to Islam. They constantly put Jesus forth as a venerated prophet in Islam. They want people to believe that Islam is either compatible with, or the fulfillment of, Christianity.
The problem is, any similarities between Islam and Christianity are at best superficial. The differences outweigh the similarities.
An example:
In Islam, the Qur'an states rather clearly, "Proclaim: Allah is One. Allah is Eternal. He neither begets nor was begotten." (Surah 112:1-4)
In Christianity, we believe that Jesus was begotten. (John 1:14) Jesus clearly states that He is God: "Truly, truly I tell you, before there was an Abraham, I am!" (John 8:58) Naturally, there are many other examples I could use, but it wouldn't really help.
Now, we have a conundrum. Either Islam is right, and Jesus is not God, nor begotten; or Christianity is right, and Jesus is God, and is begotten. We can't have it both ways. Islam will never hold to a belief that Jesus is God. And Christians will not accept that Jesus is not God, and is not begotten. Therefore, they are not the same religion.
Islam is "another Gospel" that Paul warned the Galatians about. "But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that person be condemned! What we have told you in the past I am now telling you again: If anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that person be condemned!" (Galatians 1:8-9)
Muhammad made it clear that he received revelation from an angel (Gabriel). But, since this angel gave a "different gospel" (which isn't really a "gospel") then that angel, and all who advance that message are under a curse.

Allah means God in Arabic, so that means God's son Jesus who was an amazing prophet, as was Buddha, Mohammad, and others. The Bible speaks of Jesus being a prophet too, and it also speaks of other prophets.
Prophets were people that wrote down God’s Word, that is, they wrote down what God said―what he wanted people to know about himself (Hebrews 1:1). Prophets were messengers who passed on God’s words to the people. (Their messages may have concerned future things, but more often than not, their messages concerned things having to do with God’s way for us to live in everyday life.)

the koran acknowledges that jesus is a teacher, a prophet. mohammed was teacher and prophet. if I am made in the image of god, and you,then we are his children, a phrase used many times in many ways, but that would imply that we have a brother named jesus.
no one has a right to denounce another's religion no matter how fervently they 'believe'. if they truly believe then they must be as accepting as jesus and that would include accepting of christians and vice versa.
it takes a very pompous ego on either side to claim they have all the answers.
not one of us will be certain until we ourselves get there. in the meantime it is all speculation, albeit a fervent speculation..
one thing is for certain, neither jesus nor mohammed will be accepting of those who kill the innocent in their name, they were both 'peace'.

Mohammad is still in the grave.
Jesus is risen from the dead, sitting by the right hand of God.
Need I say more?

Then Allah deputised Muhammad (p.b.u.h.a.h.p.) as a witness, giver of good tidings and warner, the best in the universe as a child and the most chaste as a grown up man, the purest of the purified in conduct, the most generous of those who are approached for generosity.
About the Ummayads
This world did not appear sweet to you in its pleasures and you did not secure milk from its udders except after having met it when its nose-rein was trailing and its leather girth was loose. For certain people its unlawful items were like bent branches (laden with fruit) while its lawful items were far away, not available. By Allah, you would find it like a long shade upto a fixed time. So the earth is with you without let or hindrance and your hands in it are extended while the hands of the leaders are held away from you. Your swords are hanging over them while their swords are held away from you.
Beware that for every blood (that is shed) there is an avenger and for every right there is a claimant. The avenger for our blood is like the judge for his own claim, and it is Allah who is such that if one seeks Him, then He does not disappoint him, and one who runs away from Him cannot escape Him. I swear by Allah, O' Banu Umayyah, shortly you will see it (i.e. your possession) in the hands of others and in the house of your enemy. Know that the best looking eye is that whose sight catches virtue and know that the best hearing ear is that which hears good advice and accepts it.
About the functions of the Imams
O' people, secure light from the flame of lamps of the preacher who follows what he preaches and draw water from the spring which has been cleaned of dirt.
O' creatures of Allah, do not rely on your ignorance, do not be obedient to your desires, because he who stays at this place is like one who stays on the brink of a bank undermined by water carrying ruin on his back from one portion to the other following his opinion which he changes (one after the other). He wants to make adhere what cannot adhere and to bring together what cannot keep together. So fear Allah and do not place your complaints before him who cannot redress your grievance, nor undo with his opinion what has been made obligatory for you.
Certainly, there is no obligation on the Imam except what has been devolved on him from Allah, namely to convey warnings, to exert in good advice, to revive the sunnah, to enforce penalties on those liable to them and to issue shares to the deserving. So hasten towards knowledge before its vegetation dries up and before you turn yourselves away from seeking knowledge from those who have it. Desist others from the unlawful and abstain from it yourself, because you have been commanded to abstain (yourself) before abstaining (others).
