"I already told you that Muslims believe God placed someone who appeared to be Jesus to be crucified. That's why all those records testify that they believe Jesus was crucified. But Muslims believe God saved his messenger and would not let the Romans harm him. "

"What Muslims believe" is not a historical document or an eyewitness account. The Crucifixion of Christ was observed by thousands of people--Jews, Romans, Jesus followers and others. All these source has left documented historical records to confirm and historically establish the fact that Jesus was indeed crucified.

You are using hearsay such as "Muslims believe God placed someone who appeared to be Jesus to be Crucified". Over six hundred years after the fact of Jesus's Crucifixion and Moslems begin to believe Mohammad's unsubstantiated false words that Jesus had never been Crucified. This is unacceptable.

You are willing to accept Mohammad's unsubstantiated unhistorical words in the Koran that Jesus was never Crucified but you deny the following solid historical records that doucment the Crucifixion.

1. Thousands of people--Jews, Romans, Jesus-followers, and others---observed the Crucifixion of Jesus.

2. The Apostles who were eyewitnesses of the Crucifixon and were opposed to the Crucifixion wrote their eyewitness accounts of hte Crucifixion.

3. Pontius Pilate who was the head of the local civil authority and in charge of the Crucifixion confirms in his report to Caesar that Jesus was indeed Crucified. His words can be found in the ACTA PILATI.

4. Josephus who was a contemporary Jewish historian official recording the events for Rome confirms that Jesus was indeed Crucified.

5. Philo, a nonbelieving Jew of the first century, confirms that Jesu was Crucified.

etc. etc.

The Crucifixion of Jesus is an hisotorical fact.

Mohammad and the Koran are in error when they deny the Crucifixion of Jesus.
