Richard - This is exactly what I'm trying to educate people about.
Do you like being duped?
Why not just go ahead and use John Esposito's Dictionary of Islam?

The fact he's accepted over $20 Million for Georgetown from Saudi Prince Bin Talal?
That doesn't bias his writing at all...
Read what's written by Muslims for Muslims.
And as for that explanation of Jesus, did you notice that islam demotes Jesus to merely another prophet, deny Jesus was crucified, and by default rose again, thereby denying that he died for our sins and deny Jesus' divinity. Suppose that's no difference. After all, they both have the same name.
