2. He claimed to be the Son of God, as the story goes, and technically was Jewish. |

technically he was a Jewish man, raised by Jewish parents, who preached Judaic values.

6. The time of Jesus predates Islam by hundreds of years |
|
as everyone knows. So the intention of this poll is unclear? Did Moses have a Model T? No. Did Rasputin have a telephone? Actually yes, that was a trick question, toward the end, he did have a phone, but not a cell.

9. And yet, he lived hundreds of years prior to Mohammed and the |
|
Koran. Of course, the Koran has many stories of Jesus.

10. According to Islam, is it possible that Jesus was God? |
|
If Jesus wasn't God but claimed to be God, then would his hypothetical claim be considered, under Islam, to be an act of blasphemy?

I thought the Koran follows the Judaic idea of one G-d, indivisibkle, as it were- G-d in human form would be idolatry, at least

that we only have things written centuries after his death (if he existed at all) and we only have copies of those from centuries later. So we have no way of actually knowing what he really said.

25. There again you are claiming something that you have no objective proof for. |
|
"we only have things written centuries after his death" - merely one opinion among many, no proof. The gospels and epistles themselves indicate that they were written within a century or less after Jesus. It is mere speculation to say anything to the contrary.

20. There may have been somebody that started the story... |
|
...but if there was, he was not the JC described in the New Testament. Kind of like how there was no King Arthur even if it turns out that the legend was originally based on some Roman general who fought off the Saxons for a while. He wasn't the Arthur of the stories.

don't seem to go hand in hand very well so asking him for proof seems somewhat...specious. He doesn't have it, neither do you, neither does anyone else, thus why folks have to go on faith, or not, to decide.
