Speculations Cannot Prove Truth

This is quite an interesting observation, for a variety of reasons. I'm glad you brought it up; but it poses further questions.

First. It is asserted (and I think correctly so) that to truly understand the Quran, one must have a better than basic understanding of Arabic, so as to tell one version of the Quran from an older version. This is what I have read from true Muslim scholars. The Hadiths etc., would have to follow suite

Next. If Islamic scholars have thought they were able to prove Yeshua HaMashiach wrong in His assertions about His deity and propitiatory sacrifice on the cross, how come you and the other detractors of Christianity keep banging about how Islam is a better way to Heaven than as provided by the WORD of the LORD without real proof? Islam cannot claim 'Issa' is a prophet and call Him a liar without appropriate (and not some biased imam/mufti's humanist pronouncement) claim of proof.
