It said "modern-day christians", which I dont think is offensive or "Incorrect" as you said.

The answer to your questions may be another question. In Christianity, are any of the Prophets held in higher regard than others? Yes, they are. The Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) is the father of Islam, and held in the highest regard as he brought the religion to his followers. As Islam was taught by The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would he not have more signifigance in Islam than the Prophet Jesus (PBUH)? It doesnt make him "better", nor does it dimish The Prophet Jesus (PBUH) respect and importance in the entire faith as one cannot be Muslim without believing and respecting his word to the highest degree.

It is stated in the Quran that the Prophet Jesus (PBUH) will come back to earth for 40 years before the day of judgement to fight off evil and set things straight so to speak.

So I guess I should answer now... yeah, The Prophet Jesus (PBUH) is pretty important :) Christianity doesnt even recognize the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).
