This is consistent with my understanding too.

The Christian faith view is that Jesus was the Son of God and the incarnation of God. However Islam indicates Jesus to be one in a line of Prophets, but certainly neither the Son of God or the incarnation. To me this seems to be a very fundamental difference, not interpretation or semantics. If you are convinced he was the Son of God, then as I stated Muslims must be mistaken. If they are right and he was just a prophet, then Christians must be wrong. Ditto the other religions you mention.

Hence my question on which one is correct... The Peshawar question follows from this also.

If one or other view is wrong, then there is also a possibility that they are both wrong.

Thanks
Ok I get it! Sure we may have differing beliefs but we don't debate on who is right or wrong but rather celebrate the fact that we have so much in common in terms of values. For example, raising families, being responsible and caring stewards with resources, etc. We also discuss misinterpretations of scripture from both sides.

For example many people know that Islam calls for separate Islamic states. What few people know, who are not Muslim, is that it qualifies this by saying within the context of the prevailing law of the land. A very imporant misunderstanding in my opinion.

I actually never thought of it in terms of wrongs and rights but simply my belief and the belief convergent in key areas and divergent in others.
