Well, I believe they recognize Jesus as he referred to himself which was 'son of man' sent by his Father. It is their concentration on the One God that is rather unique. Religious scholars sometimes question the tri aspects of Chritianity regarding mono versus poly theism, but muzzies avoid this. Nonetheless, it should be remembered they do accept both Old and New Testaments so they get the second half of the new covenant (i.e. new set of conditions) so to speak. The cult worship of mohamamed is endemic like pope worship....mohammed turning to an eccelsiatic life after he/they saw the Romans during Constantine editing and re-merging Christianity with the elder judiasm, thusly organizing the islamic 'church'. Basically, all three religions draw heavily from prior Zorasterian and Mythric heritages, with the jews practicing apostasy and relegating their people to apotheosis by all indications.
A study of their religion does indicate why they are so opposed to the Globalist One World Movement; and sure, they would like to see this supplanted by their own faith. Remember, strictly speaking islamic law forbids charging 'interest' for money loaned in theory....this is diametrically opposed to the OT phariseic finance system (Deut 15.6) which the West primarily has operated under and may be in its death throes;;;one can not dismiss this huge philosophical gap, among a few others. One look at a crucifix will tell you what you get if you rebel against phariseic law.

TM;
I must quibble with your assessment of our Savior. Yes He said He was "the son of man" but He also said He was the "Son of God".
Not only He, but the disciples also called Him the Son of God. Even the Devil(s) recognized Him as such (Matt 8:29, Matt3:11 and Luke4:41). Many witnesses heard Him say He was "the Son of God" (Matt 27:43). Jesus also said, "I an my Father are one"..He also said "When you see me, you have seen the Father".
Of course, then there is John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
Yes, there are some "scholars" who try to deny He is God, but there are bodies set up (e.g. "The Jesus Seminar) who purposely set forth to try to convince others to turn away from God; but to most believers they are a known source for falsity. They are almost without exception, people who look upon "religious studies" as a career, rather than a calling. parasites exist in every strata.
The fact that you use the term "poly" theism..assures me that whoever you study from "just doesn't get it". We are not speaking of 3 Gods , but God who is 3 in 1! Not like 3 oak trees, but one Oak tree consisting of root, branches and leaves. That is just about as simple as one can explain it; surely that is not difficult to grasp.
Obviously Muhammad did not observe the goings on in the Roman Church in AD 313, since Muhammad was not born before the very late 500s, so he probably didn't have nearly the comprehensive sources of historical information that one man with a computer can dig up today. While it looks like Muhammad drew on the Bible, it is far from conclusive that the Bible drew anything from Zoarasterism (Zoroaster lived about 500BC) and Mithras mythology is a strikeout, being as Mithraism did not take root until between 100 & 400 AD. It is highly unlikely that any of the elements of Zoasterism pre-date any parts of the written OT, and it is well known that much of the OT was preserved in Hebrew oral tradition until written down starting perhaps 1500 to 2000 BC..
Muslims like to disarm gullible Christians by claiming they believe in Jesus, such a statement is is only intended to lower the Christian's guard, plus in the year 620AD, to gain some credibility from older, more established faiths..
