Are Muslims offended by depictions of Jesus? (read additional details)?

From what I understand Christianity and Islam are all part of the Abrahamic religions that revere Abraham as the first prophet. Contrary to what some people think, Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet, they just think their Muhammad was the last in a long line of prophets starting with Abraham then Moses followed by Jesus then Muhammad.

Muslims revere all the prophets of God/Allah and depicting them is wrong/offensive (why films like Dream Work's The Prince of Egypt was banned in some Muslim countries for depicting Moses). However in Christianity there are a lot of depictions of Jesus and him nailed to a crucifix is a major symbol for the church. Do Muslims find this offensive?

    first of all muhammed (pbuh) is the last messenger of god .he is not founder of islam

    islam is there since man foot on earth adam(pbuh) is the first prophet of god and muhammed (pbuh) is the last prophet

    all prophet came and taught the same message

    belive in oneness of god and belive in the messenger of god

    as muhammed is the last messenger of god he is teaching is for the whole human kind and quran is the last revelation of god

    we dont belive that jesus was nailed on cross nor do christians from bible can prove that jesus was crucified

    Yes we find it offensive to see Isa Alai Salaam on the cross. This is wrong. Any sort of depiction of Prophets in Islam is offensive and abouve that its a Sin.
