Witnesses claim to have seen miracles in other religions too. Do you suppose we accept every claimed miracle of every religion?
Jesus (not the first or last man to claim to be a god) and was not resurrected. The Christian movement was an offbeat cult until 400 years after Jesus' death, and no one even knew where the tomb was.
When miracles happen in religion, their followers remember where those events occured. Muslims have the Kabah at the exact spot they believe God created a miracle, thats not to mention countless other specific locations of miracles for all religions. The problem with Christianity is that no one knows where this happened (because it didn't) and nobody but a few followers believed it for centuries.
If Jesus was resurrected from the dead, his tomb would be the holyiest place on Earth, and you can be assured that somebody would bother to remember where it was. All we got were a bunch of zealous Christians making up locations centuries later, thats why there are numerous temples dedicated to the spot Jesus was put on the cross and no temples for his tomb.

I think you're not taking into consideration the whole Christian movement was being persecuted, tortured, killed, crucified, etc and driven underground by a little known authority called the Roman Empire (!), plus most Christians will agree that going on pilgrimages etc is a waste of time, I know Catholics do it, and it was popular in medieval times, but actual places etc have no meaning to Christians, what they mean however is completely different, but the actual place, the place his actual tomb was, why should I go there, what would I gain by going there?
And give some substantiation for your other religion 'miracles', and give numbers.
