What does Islam teach should be done to Muslims who proclaim that Jesus Christ is God, and who confess their faith in the belief that he was put to death on the cross and was resurrected three days later?

Quit avoiding the question. hog_waller says that you are a genius on matters of religion. This question should be a chip shot for you.

Muslims reject blood sacrifice believing that God does not eat nor is He fed. To continue that thought they believe God does not need man, man needs God.

While Jesus is considered a holy man and the PURE one and Mary is revered, they do not as far as I know believe that Jesus was crucified. They think that Judas was crucified because Jesus was too pure and without blemish to have suffered such a fate.

Mohammed's message from the beginning was that he was the messenger to get the Arabs to return to their original beliefs and give up all the small idols that had crept into their original monothesism.

The Kaaba is thought to be the alter built by Adma and Eve after they fled Eden (Dilmun) and reubilt by Noah after the flood and rebuilt again by Abraham. Jiddah is believed to be the burial place of mother Eve.

I would "guess" that this may be related to the way the Najran Christians believed.

Sorry, I had to run somewhere and now that I'm back I notice how you're thinking that I am avoiding you.

I think your question is best answered using the words on Freedom of Religion included in the Koran.
2:256 - There is no pressure in religion.
10:99 - If God had willed it, He would have made all people on earth pius. Who are you to force them?
18:29 - And say: The Truth comes from God. It's up to you to accept or deny it.

I really have to go and tend to my kids now. I am happy to correspond with you. I feel no ill will toward you. All I want is peace and happiness for all our children. We can differ yet still make this a safe world for the innocent.
