Messiah: The Jesus of the Qur'an and the Gospels

Most Christians and Muslims feel like there is no reconciling their beliefs about Jesus the Messiah. However, when one strips away tradition and goes back to the Holy Books: the Qur'an and the Gospels, one finds that both religions have distorted who Jesus is. When the sources of the two great monotheistic religions are looked at without bias and preconceived notions, one discovers that Jesus is the same and that it's only misconceptions, misunderstandings, culture and tradition that have muddied the picture. Muslims and Christians are culturally different but at the core, when it comes to the Qur'an and the Gospels, they have the same Jesus.
