The publication highlighted by him is a shoddy cut and paste job, substituting Muhammad SAW for Jesus alaihissalam in the selected Quranic verses, but still...to the ignorant out there, it does send the wrong message home.
Read about Jesus alaihissalam as a revered prophet to Muslims here.
*******************
"Islam is not a new religion. It is, in essence, the same message and guidance which Allah revealed to all (over 125,000) Prophets, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Jesus, to name a few. It is the message which was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in 611 a.d., and is a continuation of Allah's word and guidance to all mankind. It is the final and complete book of revelations in its final form, the Qur'an, and Muhammad (PBUH) is the final Messenger.
There are three conditions which necessitate the advent of a new Prophet over and above the need to replace a deceased Prophet. These may be summed up as follows:
1. That the teachings of the earlier Prophets have been distorted or corrupted, or they have died and their revival is needed.
2. That the teachings of the Prophet who has passed away was incomplete and it is necessary to amend them, improve on them, or add something to them.
3. That the earlier Prophet was raised for a particular nation or territory and a Prophet for another nation, people or country is required.
None of these conditions exist today. The teachings of the last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) are alive, and have been made immortal. The guidance he has shown unto mankind is complete and flawless, and is enshrined in the Holy Qur'an. All the sources of Islam are fully intact and each and every instruction or action of the Holy prophet can be ascertained without the least shadow of a doubt.
Secondly, God has completed His revealed guidance through the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Islam is a complete religion for mankind. God has said that, "Today I have perfected your Faith-religion for you, and have completed My bounty upon you," and a thorough study of Islam as a complete way of life proves the truth of these Qur'anic words. Islam gives guidance for life in this world and in the hereafter and nothing essential for human guidance has been left out. There is no ground for a new prophethood on the plea of imperfection.
Lastly, the message of Muhammad (PBUH) was not meant for any particular people, place, or period. He was raised as the World Prophet - the messenger of truth for the whole of mankind. The Qur'an has commanded Muhammad (PBUH) to declare: "O mankind, I am God's messenger to all of you." He has been described as a blessing for all (the people of) the world and his approach has been universal and human. That is why after him there remains no need for new prophethood and he has been described by the Qur'an as Khatam-an-Nabiyyin or the last of the chain of the true Prophets.
The only source, therefore, for the knowledge of God and His Way is Muhammad (PBUH). We can know of Islam only through his teachings which are so complete and comprehensive, that they can guide men through all ages to come. The world does not need a new prophet, it needs only such people as have faith in Muhammad (PBUH). People to become the standard-bearers of his message, propagate it throughout the world, and endeavor to establish the culture which Muhammad (PBUH) gave to mankind. The world needs such men of character as can translate his teachings into practice and to establish a society which is governed by Divine Law, whose supremacy Muhammad (PBUH) came to establish.
This is the mission of Muhammad (PBUH) and on its success hinges the success of Man."
