''"...They did not kill him [Jesus] and they did not crucify him, but it was made to seem so to them..."'' Qur'an, 4:157
The Qur'an denies that Jesus was in fact crucified and then resurrected (cf. Docetism). The Muslim belief is that Jesus was rescued by God prior to actually being crucified. This changed perhaps because it implied Jesus was greater than Muhammad: He defeated death.

When studying true Islam, it is proper to study Islam as understood by Muhammad, the Qur'an, and his original followers. These sources greatly differ from modern Muslims in several ways.
==View of the Bible==
''Main article:'' [[Apologetics: The Qur'an Teaches the Bible Is True | The Qur'an Teaches the Bible Is True(JBJ)]]
While modern Muslims believe the Torah, Psalms, and Gospel are corrupted from their original revelation, we find no such teaching in original Islam. Rather, Muhammad thought these books were true, did not contradict the Qur'an, and prophesied about himself. This belief changed when Muslims realized the Qur'an and Bible disagreed. WikiChristian articles use the following perspectives.
==Crucifixion and Resurrection==
''Main article:"...They did not kill him [Jesus] and they did not crucify him, but it was made to seem so to them..."'' [[Apologetics: The Qur'an Denies Jesus Was Crucified | , 4:157 The Qur'an Denies denies that Jesus Was Crucified]]was in fact crucified and then resurrected (cf. Docetism).
''"Nay! Allah took him up to Himself; and Allah is Mighty, Wise."'' Qur'an 4:158
==Violence in Islam==
Muhammad is said to have condoned conversion by force, the killing of civilians when useful, and violence as a means to give Muslims economic strength, but in reality, this wasn't always the case. Also, Islamic Shari'a law states that apostates must be executed (death penalty - حد الردة) if they insist on leaving Islam [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam].
