I tried but couldn't find the original source for this brilliant analogy, but will be happy to provide attribution if anyone knows. As a fan of "tv tropes" and the idioms and conventions of pop culture, this analogy explaining religions hit me as just perfect. See what you think.
No, Muslims don't believe that Jesus was the messiah.
Think of it like a movie. The Torah is the first one, and the New Testament is the sequel.
Then the Koran comes out, and it retcons the last one like it never happened. There's still Jesus, but he's not the main character anymore, and the messiah hasn't shown up yet.
Jews like the first movie but ignored the sequels. Christians think you need to watch the first two, but the third movie doesn't count. Muslims think the third one was the best.
Mormons like the second one so much that they started writing fan-fiction that doesn't fit with any of the series canon.
