The person who wrote this is an American scholar of Islam, not an Islamist, just one who doesn't care for Islam one iota and knows the way to defeat any enemy is to know them better than they know themselves. Ben has been at this longer than anyone else I know.
This is not Ben's website, just a place to host the post. At issue is the defamation of Jesus Christ, Ben says it very well and far more politely than I would. The link is below
"The Defamation of Jesus Christ"
Again I warn you, don't read this while slurping your coffee, it may be hot and you will burn your nose hairs out when it comes out the hole it did not go in through. (I presume)
3:61
| Then whoever disputes with you concerning him ['Iesa (Jesus)] after (all this) knowledge that has come to you, [i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus)] being a slave of Allah, and having no share in Divinity)... |
4:159
| ...And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), but must believe in him ['Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), as only a Messenger of Allah and a human being]... |
19:30
| "He ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: Verily! I am a slave of Allah, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet;" |
43:59
| He ['Iesa (Jesus)] was not more than a slave. We granted Our Favour to him, and We made him an example to the Children of Israel (i.e. his creation without a father). |
