Come to think of it, not all Christians agree about their beliefs - there are wide discrepancies between Catholicism and Protestantism, for instance - so it isn't too surprising that there are discrepancies between Christianity and Islam.

(But not according to Bahá'í belief - we believe that God sent other prophets more recently, although we don't usually call them "prophets".)
I do have some familiarity with Christian beliefs, having been raised as such, and have never heard Christ described as a prophet. A prophet is a messenger. Perhaps divinely appointed, but only a messenger nonetheless. Christ was (allegedly) either the son of God or God himself in a different form, depending on your brand of Christianity. At least that's my understanding.
I hope Metin clarifies what he meant about Muslims believing in Jesus too.
