Every time one refers to Jesus as "son of Mary (SOM)," they disparage Jesus. How dare one refer to the son of God as son of His mother? How low can one go doing this and calling Jesus a thief? Satan is the one who attempts to disparage Jesus while he pretends to honor Him. Does not the Creator of the seeing eye not see or the hearing ear not hear?

May God have mercy on the souls of those who ignorantly call Him son of His mother and show them the right way, the good way and the straight path.
Those who out of willful ignorance say SOM will be punished by God the next time they do it, and they will know it.

Blessings to lovers of truth
Burninglight, I am not aware of any other prophet other than Jesus that is called by the name of his mother. I have raised this issue before, and kindly some member did say if it was offensive they would use another term when replying to posts. That I'm sure was meant in kindness, but it is not myself who is hurting here.. Or Christians in general.. Although I confess it hurts to hear The Lord Jesus referred to in this manner. Muslims do not see the hurt they commit against Jesus. I have been told in the past to always show respect to Mohammed by applying the title Prophet Mohammed or prophet of Islam. When this was pointed out to me I am happy to oblige out of respect for the feelings of muslims on this issue. This respect is not a two way thing. Which is a shame.

God bless and keep you.
