The Disturbing Truth about the Muslim Jesus

Raymond Ibrahim, 04/20/26

Tucker Carlson’s recent claim that “Muslims love Jesus” is worse than might appear. The problem is not that Muslims don’t really love Jesus; it’s that they love a counterfeit Jesus—one who promotes hate for and war on Christians.

Let’s carefully unpack this troubling claim.

On April 14, Tucker Carlson asserted:

The people in charge don’t want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus. Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist.

This is a perfect example of how a set of words can be true—literally speaking, what Tucker wrote is true—but can also mean antithetical things to antithetical audiences, in this case, Muslims and Christians.

Put differently, the “Jesus” Muslims love (known in Arabic as ‘Isa) behaves more like a faithful Muslim and sometime jihadist, not the Son of God proclaimed by the New Testament—which Muslims believe is fake news (or, in the Koran’s words, “distorted” and “corrupted,” from h-r-f, ح ر ف).

Will Christians Ever “Stand Up” Against Evil as They Once Did?

Why the simple act of standing up would be a gamechanger for Christians 

Western authorities seem to encourage anyone and everyone to “stand up” for themselves. Everyone, that is, except Christians—they who, rather ironically, created and made Western civilization so appealing in the first place.

There are numerous examples of this. Here’s an especially memorable one:

In 2024, a Muslim man stabbed and partially blinded Orthodox bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel while he preached inside his Sydney church. Commenting on this—as well as the ongoing terrorization of Christians at the hands of Muslims in general—an Australian man wrote “Christians should stand up” on social media.

Because of this simple assertion, police—accompanied by a head shrink—“visited” and questioned the man in his home. You can watch the video here. In it, the man can be heard questioning the police,

This is religious discrimination, right now, you know? Because you wouldn’t be knocking on Muslims’ doors if they had this conversation—so I already know why you’re here. This is religious discrimination.
