Christ In The Quran?

After 9/11, do you remember folks forwarding an email through cyber space saying that the Quran 9:11 contained the following quote?

"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace."

According to snopes.com, an Urban Legends Reference Page, that quote is NOT in the Quran. But you know what is? The following references to Jesus [Isa in Arabic]!!!

If you don't believe me, you can get your own free copy of the Quran [all you pay is $8 shipping] from The Council On American-Islamic Relations [www.cair.com] by clicking the graphic above and then looking up the following surprising chapters [Suras in Arabic] and verses on your own.
