Dear John

i would like to clear your concepts regarding Islam.

1. Muslims don't believe that "Hazar isa" was brother of Hazar maryam( Mary ) A.S. He was son of Hazar Maryam. and Quran clearly state this. Hazart

^{The Qur'an describes the miraculous birth of Isa (AS) in the following words:}

^{"Behold! The angels said: "O Mary! Allah has chosen you and purified you and has preferred you above the women of all nations. O Mary! Worship your Lord devoutly, prostrate yourself and bow down in prayer with those who bow down. ... Behold! the angels said: O Mary! Allah has given you glad tidings of a Word from Him. His name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honor in this world and in the Hereafter, and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah. He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity, and he shall be (of the company) of the righteous. She said: O my Lord! How shall I have a son, when no man has touched me. He said: Even so, Allah Creates what He Wills. When He has decreed a plan, He but says to it: 'Be', and it is." (al-Qur'an 3:42-47)}

2. Muslim Do believe that Hazar isa(AS) is alive and will be back near the Day of Judgement.
