No, Muslims do not acknowledge Jesus as Messiah, I've questioned Muslims closely on that. Jesus is only another prophet in the line that began in the Old Testament and ends with Mohammed. I would, however, agree that all religions deserve the same respect, with the additional stipulation that the amount of respect due them is none. Note that I mean the religions themselves, not the people who follow them. Most of the people I know in real life are religious to varying degrees and I don't disrespect them, I just think they're wrong.There are some Messianic Jews. Moreover, I have quoted from the Koran repeatedly to show that Muslims acknowledge Jesus as Messiah. As for who is ''chosen'' the Bible indicates that all 12 Hebraic tribes (not just one) are heirs to the Promise made to Abraham. In the New Testament, all Christians are now ''fellowheirs''. Since Muslims acknowledge Jesus as Messiah, they, too, are ''chosen''. I have supplied quotes from the Bible to prove these points in the past. Regardless of one's outlook, all religions deserve the same respect.
