I ask this question in follow up to a response from a question I posted earlier whether or not Muslims believe Jesus was born of a virgin. It appears Muslims believe Jesus was born of a virgin.

In particular, look at this response by Kimo.

Yes, and we believe he was the Messiah.

[3:45-47]
Behold the angels said: O Mary God giveth thee glad tidings of a word from him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honor in this world and the hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to God;
He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. and he shall be (of the company) of the righteous.
She said: O my lord how shall i have a son when no man hath touched me? he said: even so: God createth what he willeth: when he hath decreed a plan, he but saith to it, be, and it is

How can Jesus be called Christ if He is not the messiah?

Who said Jesus was not the Messiah, the Anointed One?

~~"In Judaism, the Messiah (Hebrew: מָשִׁיחַ, Standard Mašíaḥ Tiberian Māšîªḥ; Aramaic: משיחא, Məšîḥā; Arabic: المسيح, al-Masīḥ; "the Anointed One") at first meant any person who was anointed with oil on rising to a certain position among the ancient Israelites, at first that of High priest, later that of King and also that of a prophet.
In English today, it is used in three main contexts: in a Jewish context, it refers to the anticipated king of the Davidic line prophesied by Isaiah, who will rule the Jewish people during the Messianic Age; in a general sense, it means any such saviour or liberator of the world; and among Christians, it refers to Jesus of Nazareth identified as the Christ (Greek: Χριστος, the Anointed One).

In the 1st century, Jews interpreted the prophecies of the Tanakh to refer more specifically to someone appointed by God to lead the Jewish people in the face of their tribulations with the Romans. Christians believe that these prophecies referred to a spiritual savior, and consider Jesus to be that messiah. The word Christ (Greek Χριστός, Christos, "the anointed one") is a literal translation of "mashiah" used in the Greek Septuagint version of the Bible, and derived from the Greek verb χριω "rub, anoint with scented unguents or oil, as was done after bathing," "anoint in token of consecration."[1]

In Islam, Jesus (Isa) is also called the Masih.[2]" ~~

God created Adam without both parents. God created
Eve from the ribs of Adam.
What could be so difficult for God to create Jesus without father?

Christians' worst mistake is that they think God impregnated Mary mother of Jesus and some of them Holy Ghost
impregnated Mary. Both allegations are worst kinds of
Blasphemy against God and Holiest Angel of God.

Muslims never say that Jesus Christ is not Messiah. Your accusation is absolutely wrong. Meaning of Christ is Messiah. You do not have the best translation of the Above Ayah of Quran you quoted. Muslims never negate what is written in Quran. Here is the proof from the good translation of Quran by a Muslim scholar.

(Remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah gives you the glad tidings of a Word ("Be!" - and he was! i.e. Iesa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary)) from Him, his name will be the Messiah Iesa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allah."
( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #45)

And the Jews say: Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allahs Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!
( سورة التوبة , At-Taubah, Chapter #9, Verse #30)

Muslims believe this line is correct, Pretty close to christianity ain't it? Trying to include muhammad as the next in line is a bit tricky . How can you claim to be the new kid on the block Mr Muhammad? Jesus is the messiah

Virgin births are not uncommon. Many Pagan faiths also have virgin birth stories in them. Did you know it was said that Alexander the great was from a virgin brith. As I said before Christians have borrowed a lot from the Pagans
