The muslim opinion is that even though it appeared so that Jesus was crucified, he really wasn't, and somehow an other person was crucified who resembeled Jesus so much that not even his mother could tell that it wasn't him. Contemporary sources are correct in that a person who resembled Jesus was crucified, but they were unable to see that the person wasn't Jesus. The evidence for that Jesus wasn't crucified is the Quran. This arguement says, to but it short:
- It looked like Jesus was crucified.
- Jesus wasn't crucified.
It is impossible to disprove this. It is like saying: this fruit has all the attributes of an apple (looks, tastes, smells, feels like an apple), but it is by substance an orange. If you point out that it doesn't look like an orange, the other person will respond: It is an orange that looks like an apple.
Likewise, a muslim can say that the attributes of the event point towards the crucifixion of Jesus, but the substance is that Jesus wasn't crucified.
