Jesus in the Quran
The Christian does not know that the true spirit of charity which
the Muslim displays, always, towards Jesus and his mother Mary spring from the
fountainhead of his faith- the Holy Quran. He does not know that the Muslim does not take
the holy name of Jesus, in his own language, without saying Hazrat Eesa (meaning revered
Jesus) or Eesa alai-hiss-salaam i.e. (Jesus peace be upon him).
Every time the Muslim mentions the name Jesus (pbuh) without these
words of respect, he would be considered disrespectful, uncouth or barbaric. The Christian
does not know that in the Holy Quran Jesus (pbuh) is mentioned by name five times (5x)
more than the number of times the prophet of Islam is mentioned in the Book of God. To be
exact - twenty five time as against five.

Yeah, the conflict between Islam and Christianity doesn't really turn on the question of respect, but rather on (a) the question of his divinity and (b) whether or not he was crucified. As to the latter, for a more detailed discussion see -

I was aware of this, as part of my family is Muslim and I, too, have read the Quran and have some religious education (I'm not religious, however).
