From Revered Figures in Islam: "Virgin Mary" & "Jesus Christ":
Although Muslims reject as blasphemy our Catholic assertions that the Blesed Virgin Mary is the Mother of God (Theotokos) and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, it can be seen from the above that Muslims are scadalously closer to Catholics in belief about Mary and Jesus than are many Liberal Protestants, some of whom discount as superstition the Virgin Birth and see Christ as merely a teacher, like Buddha or Socrates.
From Revered Figures in Islam: "Virgin Mary" & "Jesus Christ":
- Two of the most revered, loved and respected figures in the heart of every Muslim are Virgin Mary peace be upon her and her blessed son Jesus Christ peace be upon him. In fact, no individual can be a Muslim unless he/she believes in Jesus peace be upon him and in his miraculous birth from the purest of all women, and that he is the Word of God and a Spirit from Him and that he is the Messiah to the people of Israel.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
