I don't see that at all. Islam reveres Jesus as a prophet. And he has an important role to play in their eschaton. He just doesn't happen to be divine.
Muslims sort of respect Jesus as a prophet but they reject that Christ was crucified and rose again accending into heaven. Its interesting that they substitute instead Mohummad accending into heaven. This seems to be a specific challenge to trump Christs status and substitute it with Mohummad and Islam.
So obviously they are not going to completely deny Christ as they would have known of His good deeds and miracles. But they knew what they were doing when they disputed Christs status as God. That was a direct slap in the fact for Christians who were dominant at the time. That slap has been going on for 100's of years now.
Why do think they hate Christians even to the point of picking them out to be either forced into submission or killed
4:157 That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah”;-but they killed him not, nor crucified him
4:171 O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah. Say not “Trinity”: desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah:
5:17 In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary.
5:72 They do blaspheme who say: “Allah is Christ the son of Mary.” But said Christ: “O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.” Whoever joins other gods with Allah,- Allah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode.
5:75 Christ the son of Mary was no more than a messenger;
So really if Muslims are true to their word Christians declaring Christ to be the Son of God and God are blaspheming. What does the Koran say about blasphemers. According to Sharia Law blaspheming is a criminal offence with the possibility of the death penalty.
Classical, as well as some modern, interpretations of Sharia regard the death penalty as the most appropriate punishment for apostates. Blasphemy connotes the insult of God or Prophet Mohammad and other revered figures in Islam, and can be committed by believers and non-believers alike.

He shall first be asked to repent, then he is either to repent or be executed by a decision from the competent authority, i.e., the Shariah court.
Similarly, if someone reviles the Quran or the Messenger (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) or any other Prophet, he shall first be asked to repent, then he is either to repent or be executed. Naturally, abusing believers may be a grave sin punished with lashing and only surpassed by disbelief and murder.
Ibn Al-Qayyim said, «The spirit of worship is glorification and adoration. If one of them is missing, then the whole worship is null and void. And if they are combined together with extolment for the Great Beloved, then this is the essence of Praise. And

Not only is the claim that Jesus is the Son of God a basis for hating Christians but the nature of God is also rejected by Muslims and the Qur’an. Moreover, Jesus taught that God is love, he modeled that love dying for humanity, and taught that humans are to love one another, love your neighbor as yourself, even love your enemy.
What did Mohammed teach?
Mohammed taught hate and jihad against unbelievers, pagans, Jews, and Christians.

So how does the Islamist ideology pan out in todays world. Well we only have to look at the rise in hate crimes against Christians by Islamists which is growing around the world. When I say Christians I also mean the West,
“Non-Muslim communities have become endangered species throughout much of the Islamic world,” Christian human rights advocate John Eibner wrote in the Boston Globe last month. From mobs torching churches in Cairo to massacres of Christians in Iraq and Egypt to last winter’s assassination of a Christian Pakistani cabinet minister and the beheading of a Tunisian Catholic priest, jihadists are committing violence in a “toxic culture of extremist Muslim supremacy,”
Both. Governments—and illustrative cases would be Egypt, Iraq, Turkey—have systematically over the 20th century oppressed their Christian minorities, to the point that in Turkey they’re almost erased, and in Iraq have declined precipitously.

Persecution of Christians 'coming close to genocide' in Middle East – report
Millions uprooted from homes, says UK-commissioned report, with many jailed and killed

Yet Woke Left ideologues are awefully quite about the upsurge in Christian persecution around the world. But very quick to condemn the Isrealis for defending themselves while hestitating to condemn Hamas who represents this horrific extremism.
The Jews don't really go to those lengths and are quite hospitable to Christians and in fact there are many Jewish Christians. I don't think there are many Muslim Christians. The Jews can sort of handle if Christ was the Messiah as it doesn't really change their book and God. It actually fullfills it. But for Muslims it represents so much more as it challenges Mohummad as the great and last Prophet of God and Mohummad is what destingusihes much of Muslims and Christians.
Judaism doesn't revere Jesus at all. Obviously many Jews in Jesus' time disputed him to his face. They were well positioned to hear Jesus' teachings for themselves, and to hear what his followers were saying afterwards. No soap.
Yeah "No soap" that they had to get rid of Him. Of course they don't revere Jesus as the Son of God and Messiah. If they did they would be contradicting their own belief that the Messiah has not come yet.
Christ claimed he was the Messiah they had been waiting for so it was a direct threat to the High Priests and Pharisees. Especially when he called them out for hypocracy. But then many Jews who went on to establish Christ church including the majoirty of disciples and Peter who was made the rock on which the church was built.
