Islam accepts Jesus as a good and holy man (equal to John the Babtist), not as divinty

Actually, Jesus's station is at the right hand of God in Islamic thinking. He is far more exalted than John the Baptist, and as a Prophet, he carries the hallmarks of infallibility as Moses and Abraham. What is more, is that Islam believes that Jesus is the "Spirit of God" (Ruhollah), born of a virgin (holy Mary), and shall return as Messiah to lead man from darkness.

Because they're murderous heretics.

Yes, it must be the fault of Christians that we are being pursued and destroyed around the world. More lies from the pit of hell!

First let note point out THE FOLLY OF THOSE WHO PROFESS TO [call him prophet], YET DO NOT, AND WILL, NOT, CALL HIM GOD. The question has sometimes been proposed to me, how it is that those of us who hold the divinity of Christ manifest what is called uncharitableness towards those who deny him. We do continually affirm that an error, with regard to the divinity of Christ, is absolutely fatal, and that a man cannot be right in his judgment upon any part of the gospel unless he think rightly of him who is personally the very center of all the purposes of heaven, and the foundation of all the hopes of earth. Nor can we admit of any latitudinarianism here. We extend the right hand of fellowship to all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity and truth; but we cannot exchange our Christian greetings with those who deny him to be "very God of very God." And the reason is sometimes asked; for say our opponents, "We are ready to give the right hand of fellowship to you, why don't you do so to us?" Our reply shall be given thus briefly: "You have no right to complain of us, seeing that in this matter we stand on the defensive When you declare yourselves to believe that Christ is not the Son of God, you may not be conscious of it, but you have charged us with one of the blackest sins in the entire cataligue of crime.

You have so insulted us by denying the Godhead of Christ, you have charged us with so great a crime, that you cannot expect us to sit coolly down and blandly smile at the imputation. It matters not what a Man worships, if it be not God, he is an idolater. There is no distinction in principle between worship to a god of mud and a god of gold, nay further, there is no distinction between the worship of an onion and the worship of the sun, moon, and stars. These are alike idolatries. - C.H. Spurgeon from his sermon "[Jesus] Name -- THE Mighty God"

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Then how can Islam say that Jesus was not divinty, truly God and truly man?
