Islam and Christianity have been portrayed as mortal enemies for 1,400 years, locked in combat until the end of time when on the day of judgement God will finally announce the winner. This so called "clash of civilisations" has defined Christian and Muslim relations from the wars of the crusades to the current "war on terror".
But there is another story. It's a story that revolves around one man. The man whom a billion Muslims and 1.2 billion Christians call the Messiah but who is seen by both in very different ways - Jesus.
The Muslim Jesus uses the Quran and other Islamic texts to explore the differing ways in which Christian and Muslim faiths both acknowledge Jesus. Scholars, teachers, parents, rappers, poets and historians come together for this one hour special, narrated by Melvin Bragg.
The differences between the Quran and the Bible's portrayal of Jesus are explored in detail, from the role of Mary and his death and resurrection, to the coming of the Anti-Christ.
The one-hour special, commissioned and narrated by Melvyn Bragg, is thought to be the first time the subject has been dealt with on British television. Lord Bragg said: "I was fascinated by the idea ... Jesus was such a prominent figure in Islam but most people don't know that."
The director and producer, Irshad Ashraf, said the film was an attempt to shift the focus away from extremism to the spiritual side of Islam. "Jesus is loved and respected by Muslims and he's one of the most important prophets in our religion."

cool
This is a great topic, thank you for sharing. The Muslim sayings of Jesus are real nuggets. I will post some books on this topic later. In addition to the Muslim Jesus there is also the Indian-Muslim-Christian hybrid that took root in Mughal India, especially around Fatehpur Sikri.
Osho has some fascinating insight on this topic. I will check later if Osho has been shared here already.
not as good as I'd hoped
Really appreciate you sharing this but it wasn't very good. But I stand by my comment: the topic is deep and there is lots of room for cross-cultural communication and understanding. Sadly, I checked my library and most books on the sayings of the Muslim Jesus are in hard copy only. I did find a few online but they only treat the topic peripherally. These sayings are in the tradition of the gnostic sayings of Jesus, too. There is this whole mysterious tradition that few talk about or acknowledge. At the moment, I've been contemplating the meaning of "walking on water" from a gnostic perspective. It is such a strange, strange idea.
it's not bad
as an introduction to Jesus from the muslim perspective, a starting point to jump off into deeper stuff
