> how Jesus is described in Islam

You seem to be quoting Muhammed's alleged description of Jesus from the Quran [1], per--allegedly--Ibn Abbas [2], a man born over half a century after Jesus died.

Presumably you mean the hadith, not the Quran, and half a millennium, not half a century? Regardless, I don't think it makes much of a difference to the point, which is that there's not one "historically accurate" Jesus that you can back out from 21st-century racial politics.
Yes to both errors!
Yes?
