Not trying to be goady, I'm genuinely puzzled by this statement. I saw it on one of the stalls giving out Information and literature about Islam, In my city centre. I am aware that Jesus is regarded as a prophet In Islam. But since he was Jewish, his entire life, I'm not sure how anyone can claim he was Muslim.

"Jesus was Muslim" could some one explain this to me?

Islam is about submission to the will of Allah. According to Muslims we are all born Muslim, as we are all born submitting to the will of Allah, as is all nature. Some of us rebel against this and stop being Muslim.
In this way of thinking,Jesus is Muslim.
At least, this is how a Muslim explained it in a book I read.

I am not a Muslim so perhaps not best qualified to explain but Jesus cant have been a Muslim as his life and death predates Islam I believe. I think he is know as a prophet in Islam because some of his teachings resonate with Islam.
Of course, then theres the fact that he may or may not even have existed anyway

It might've been better to ask the people making the statement, at the time.

That's delusional.
