You should also note that in Judaism, Jesus is generally referred to as a false Messiah. Based on this, would you consider most Jews to be following a false religion?

Islam and Judaism share many similarities, for example in dietary means, the Kosher/Halal food process is similar in the sense that Jews and Muslims seek to treat the animal with the utmost respect.
As for how Islam views Jesus otherwise known as Isa,
In Islam, Jesus is considered to be a messenger of God. A very important and well respected figure in Islam, Jesus is known as possessing the ability to heal and cure the blind. In Islam, Jesus was born to the virgin Mary, but through the angel Gabriel as opposed to God.
In addition the Quran says that righteous Jews, Christians, Sabians can get into heaven, this is one of many reasons I greatly respect Islam.
Supper Eddy, Citi,
I think its important to notify readers of this thread who may be Jewish/Muslim/Atheist/other that they dont have to convert to Christianity in order to be accepted. I feel that non Christians can be recognized(based on the Bible) as good people so long as they commit good deeds.
