This is ridiculous, but surprising that now Muslims are attempting to show how all-inclusive they are and that they love Jesus, too. I can say with utmost certainty that those who profess Islam as their faith and believe in the so-called prophet mohamed, do not know Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Is this really all it takes? — Just slap “Jesus Christ” on it and that’s good enough for HIS so-called faithful?

Excerpt:

A mosque named after the central figure of Christianity is the latest milestone of interfaith coexistence in Jordan.

Both Muslim and Christian leaders expressed delight when the Jesus Christ Mosque opened a few months ago in the tranquil town of Madaba, 30 km south of the capital, Amman.

‘This is a message to the world that Muslims consider Jesus Christ their own messenger because he informed humanity beforehand that the Prophet Mohamed was coming,’ the mosque’s prayer leader, Belal Hanini, told DPA.

‘It also proves that Islam is a religion of tolerance and has nothing to do with extremism,’ he said.

… Christians make up 10 percent of Madaba’s residents and account for 5 percent of Jordan’s 5.5-million population, they said.

‘We have lived in peace for centuries with our Christian brothers and now we feel that this mosque symbolizes our fraternity,’ Abd Horout, a Muslim lawyer from Madaba said as he finished afternoon prayers.

‘We have been ordered by our holy book, the Koran, not to differentiate between messengers. We consider Jesus Christ a brother of our messenger, the Prophet Mohamed,’ he added.

… Naming an Islamic shrine after Jesus Christ was enthusiastically welcomed by Christian leaders in Jordan, who considered it a new gesture of goodwill from the Muslim majority.

‘As monotheists, we are delighted with this move from our Muslim Brothers towards Jesus Christ and his mother, as we realize that the holy Koran has devoted a specific Surah (chapter) to her,’ Reverend Nabil Haddad from the Greek-Catholic Church said.

Can someone please tell me why the ‘Christians’ in this article are “expressing delight” with the Jesus Christ mosque? And how does naming a place of worship after Jesus Christ prove that your faith is non-violent?
