Mention jesus or christianity in the presence of "moderate" muslims you eventually know, and chances are, it'll makes them feel uneasy right away, without necessarily saying anything/voicing their opinion about it. There's a "crispation" when it comes to it, not sure exactly why, but that sentiment reinforces my opinion than there's more to that "Jesus is recognized as a prophet in Islam" than what meets the eyes
Seems like a universal semite thing. Mention Jesus in a private setting to jews and they get about as indignant if not more open about their nature than before. It's amazing how every jew I've come across has had a negative notion to assign when Jesus is mentioned. If our society cared to look into it, even just slightly, the average person would see the greatest offense to Christianity is what jews regularly do to it, not what Muslims intend or promise to.
