If you want to play with words and semantics in order to justify the perverse and erroneous beliefs of others, sure you can claim that as your right.
There's no semantics or wordplay involved. An equation is a demonstrable fact - the belief that Jesus, or Isa, is who Islam or Christianity says he is - is not. It's a belief based on faith - an assumption that the Bible or the Prophet's words are the unadultered word of God.

Why you choose to make that assumption isn't a big deal to me. But when you accuse others of being perverse or stupid for having their own beliefs - with exactly as much validity as yours - it's a small example of why the world's in such a crap state as it is.
