I should have used another word. It was based on soem muslim friends telling me that they did not believe that he was the son of god through whose sacrifice you are saved (your sin atoned) but as a prophet.
Given that this is what christians mean by messiah I took it to mean that Muslims did not believe in Jesus as the messiah. Following your message I searched and saw that you believe in him as the messiah... but with a different definition for messiah. That definition being the original meaning of messiah: 'one that is annointed'.
Thanks for the correction as it will allow me to try to be more precise in the future. Would using the word saviour have the same potential for confusion?
Note that using a different word does not change my point though as even though you see him as the messiah you do not accept him as the son of god and your personal savior through which your sins are atoned (or am I wrong in that too?) and that lack of belief, which you do not control condemns you to eternal torture as much as me (if DelioPT's religious beliefs are right of course).
