I skimmed the first two pages. Your rendition of the source does not appear to be honest. The source clearly states that Moses, Jesus and Muhammad are all Prophets of God. They are all messengers sent by God. To put it differently, God is the ultimately authority and the messengers are all his vassals. You seem to focus on one passage (I imagine) where in the Bible, Jesus says that he will "send" someone to replace him.

Firstly, it doesn't matter as you are arguing from a Muslim point of view (or at least pretending to do so) and Muslim's view Moses, Jesus and Muhammad as messengers of God, period, end, no more to add. They don't view Jesus as the captain, Moses and Muhammad as lieutenants and God as the general, as you seem to be implying. All Muslim texts do not say that.

Secondly, the fact that Jesus says that he will "send" someone to replace him means little. If there is a brigadier general in Afghanistan and he says he's going home to the US but that he will "send" someone to replace him and another brigadier general comes to replace him, does that mean that one is greater than the other? No. Equals can send each other to replace oneanother.

In any case, given that the Koran is promulgated by Muhammad and not Jesus shows that Muhammad was God's last messenger and thus he delivered the final truth, Jesus delivered a lesser, imperfect truth. This is from the Muslim viewpoint which you claim to be arguing for.
