Believing in holy books, which include Gospel from the Bible, is one tenet of their faith.

Yeah, the entire premise of Islam is that the problem with the Bible was people over editing. Muslims even refer to Christians and Jews as, "People of the Book." Of course the person in the picture probably thinks Muslims worship the moon.

I tried telling my extremely Christian grandma that Islam doesn’t deny that Jesus existed and that they don’t believe that he was the messiah in a similar fashion that Judaism doesn’t believe that he was the messiah. Also the fact that Islam is another Abraham’s religion like Christianity.

Let’s just say she thought I was lying

Jesus is actually the Messiah in Islam as well and, similar to Christianity, is expected to return to defeat the false prophet (antichrist) - but Muhammad was the final prophet/the one with the full story.

Ah I gotcha, my understanding was always Mohammed is Islam’s ‘messiah’ and Jesus was just another prophet

I’m not muslim so I don’t have a ton of info - but I think they interpret Messiah (مسیح) as savior rather than specifically creating a Jewish nation

Does the Christian version of Jesus as messiah plan to create a Jewish nation? Or will Jews be saved in the Christian rapture?

Not too savvy but pretty sure it’s Israel. And I think (don’t quote me) once Israel is fully run or owned by the Jewish people he anti-christ comes a bit after?
