So to dwell on a fine point, the way one happens to be holding their mouth when they discuss Christ, seems to me to be missing the point. Islam has been presented to you as the enemy; when they are not--or at least needn't be, imo.
I also reject your version of Christ, wadr. I have seen where this version comes from.
'When did we see you thirsty?' applies to at least as many Muslims as Christians, in my experience, and to fall for the current party line, and label the average Muslim as having fallaciously stumbled into the wrong Monotheistic God, when you have not experienced the individual, surely struggling as we are to arrive at a valid conception of Christ, an alive one--and not that cheap, judgemental imitation that we are served here--is to take the role of
accuser, to an oppressed people no less (you would die if you had to live most any of their lives). The stone that the 'builders' reject has a way of becoming the cornerstone, so you might want to consider that there is prolly a middle ground. peace.
