wtf is this

In a vacuum, Islam is far more accepting of Christianity than anything else. Muslims love Jesus and revere him as a prophet of God; the only part they disagree on is that Muslims don't think Jesus is the divine Son of God (as no human being can be divine in Islam) and that the guy who died on the cross was a body double.. Jesus is one of the most mentioned people in the Quran and many of his miracles are described in it; Muslims even believe in the Second Coming where he will return to defeat the Antichrist and rule as a king of men.

Islam as a religion holds the 'people of the book' (Jews and Christians) to a high level of respect although, understandably, the historical hatred Christians have for them have soured human relations somewhat.

Meanwhile, Jews absolutely reject Jesus as a fraudster and a false prophet and believe the Messiah has not come yet. Not to mention what they think of Muslims.

It makes you wonder why a lot of conservative Christians abhor Muslims but consider Jews to be their 'greatest ally'. Part of this can of course be ascribed to the terror attacks by extremists falsely acting in the name of Islam, and Islam's rejection of Jesus' divinity, but still, you'd think that the Jewish denial of everything about Jesus would cause more bad blood than Muslim acceptance of him as a man of God.
