Jesus was a Muslim, because he submitted to one God and a messenger from Him. All prophets and messengers came with the same message - oneness of Allah and to guide human kind to morals of Islam. That has been the selected religion and will be the one till the end of the world. The confirmation of it comes from Quran.
Christian is someone who follows Christ. Jesus was Christ himself. How can he be Christian? He was not Jew because Allah SWT revealed a New Testament (Enjeel) upon him. He came to reform Jews because they were not following the deen of Musa AS.

Sall: In response to your posting in the Jews topic. you are right when you say he brought the same religion - Islam. You erred when you said he was born jew. "Every human being is born with the "fitra" of Islam but it is the parents of the child who turn them to a jew or Christian." Hadith of prophet Mohammed SAW. Maryam AS was not Jew, she was a believer just as Quran puts it.

Neutral Zone,
Muslims are required by God to believe in all of the Prophets. These include Jesus and John the Baptist peace be upon them. The Quran, the Islamic holy book, also instructs Muslims to believe in the books revealed to every Prophet as well. The book given to Jesus is called Injeel in the Quran.
* Muslims love Jesus. We also love Abraham, Moses, and Noah, to name just a few other Prophets Muslims revere. May God's peace be upon all of these great messengers of God.
* Muslims also love the mother of Jesus, the Virgin Mary. We believe she was a pious and noble woman chosen over all of the women of the world.
* Muslims believe that Jesus was born miraculously of a virgin mother and no father. His birth is miraculous like the birth of Adam, the first human being, who was created with neither mother nor father.
* Muslims do not believe that Jesus was the son of God. God is so powerful and self-sufficient that He does not need a son or any kind of partner.
* Jesus did not die on the cross. Rather, God saved him as his enemies were confused about him. Jesus was taken up by God to Heaven.
* Jesus performed miracles by the Will of God, like healing the blind and those with leprosy.
* Jesus prayed to the same God as all Prophets and we pray to.

Guys, gals
don't just guess about matters like this. Research, a little bit and you will know. I didn't see anybody making refernces to the true source of knowledge, Quran.
Let me give you a clue. What was the religion of Ibrahim AS? If you can answer this question, you will know the religion of Jesus PBUH.

I wasn't commenting on your post Fragi. I know you understand it right. I was relating to CF and SRK's comments. Thanks for supporting the right understanding.

see i found something interesting here
the name JEW came after the existence of Judah, the great-grandson of Abraham Judah was nicknamed "Jew" so that only Judah's descendants were called Jews originally. The name Jew {according to the Bible} is not a reflection of "an organized religion" as you put it, but a Tribe, a fore name, an ancestor branch off of a large family tree
--> Jesus may have been a Jew by birth right, but a Muslim by Faith (reason already told by SD in prev posts, see below for more ref)
Islam, the primordial religion, the faith from which Judaism and Christianity are subsequent developments. In the Qur’an we read that Abraham ‘was not a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a monotheist, a Muslim’ (Âl 'Imran 3:66). So it is Muslims, and not Christians or Jews, who are the true representatives of the faith of Abraham to the world today. (Al-Baqarah 2:135)
Many prophets of the past received the one religion of Islam. (Ash-Shura 42:13) Who were these previous prophets? According to Al-An’am 6:85-87 they include Ibrahim (Abraham), ‘Ishaq (Issac), Yaqub (Jacob), Nuh (Noah), Dawud (David), Sulaiman (Solomon), Ayyub (Job), Yusuf (Joseph), Musa (Moses), Harun (Aaron), Zakariyya (Zachariah), Yahya (John the Baptist), ‘Isa (Jesus), Ilyas, Ishmael, Al-Yash’a (Elisha), Yunus (Jonah) and Lut (Lot)
---> all biblical Prophets were Muslim. The word Christian is not a valid word, for there is no religion of Christianity according to Islam.
Isa the destroyer of Christianity
The prophet ‘Isa will have an important role in the end times, establishing Islam and making war until he destroys all religions save Islam. He shall kill the Evil One (Dajjal), an apocalyptic anti-Christ figure.
In one tradition of Muhammad we read that no further prophets will come to earth until ‘Isa returns as ‘a man of medium height, or reddish complexion, wearing two light garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head although it will not be wet. He will fight for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill pigs, and abolish the poll-tax. Allah will destroy all religions except Islam. He (‘Isa) will destroy the Evil One and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die’. (Sunan Abu Dawud, 37:4310) The Sahih Muslim has a variant of this tradition: ‘The son of Mary ... will soon descend among you as a just judge. He will ... abolish the poll-tax, and the wealth will pour forth to such an extent that no one will accept charitable gifts.’ (Sahih Muslim 287)
sorry for this long copy paste but I prefer to be certain while giving references from Quran/Hadith there are loads of other proves we only need to have a deep look

good work Sall
In surah Baqarah, where Abraham's story is narrated, "When Allah said to Abraham, submit (Aslim)!, he said, I submit (aslamtu) to the Lord of the wordls.
This is Islam - voluntary submission to God Almighty.

next, "Were you witnesses when death appeared before Jacob? Behold, he said to his sons: "What will you worship after me?" They said: They said, we shall worship and submit to your Lord, the Lord of your fathers, Ibrahim (Abraham), Ismael (Ishmael, and Ishaq (Issac) - the One (True) Allah. and we are Muslims" (Baqarah: 133)

yet another one:
"And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob; "Oh my sons! Allah has chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam (Muslimoon)." (Baqarah:132)
