"...contrary to Islamic beliefs Jesus himself was not crucified, but rather someone else who resembled him."
Any Koran scholars here? Enquiring minds want to know: what did the Prophet say the real Christ gave the stunt double?
How in the hell do these guys know what happened about 600 years before Mohammed thought to write the Koran? Their stupidity is incomprehensible.
But that's alright; theirs is still the religion of peace.
This is the Surah (3 translations) about the denial of Jesus being crucified. I have never recieved an answer from the Muslims, who was his replacement. As I understand, there is no name of the person, no record, no anything. Just the word of a madman , named Mohammed.

YUSUFALI: That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
PICKTHAL: And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.
SHAKIR: And their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah, Isa son of Marium, the messenger of Allah; and they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and most surely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for sure.

I'm not an Islamic scholar, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Islamic teaching I think says that at the last moment, Allah replaced Jesus with Judas Iscariot, thus sparing him and killing the betrayer.
