not really... Mary is (obviously) the english translation, the original name for Mary would be Miriam too. So, both are named Miriam, so how do you know he confuses the one with the other? Especially if nothing is known about Miriam-Mary's family?
Because the chapter 19 in the Koran is called and REfers to Mary the mother of Jesus - it states that clearly.
19: Mary.
Quran 19:27 Then she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They said: O Mary! Thou hast come with an amazing thing.
Quran 19:28
O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy mother a harlot.
Quran 19:29
Then she pointed to him. They said: How can we talk to one who is in the cradle, a young boy ?
Quran 19:30
He spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me the Scripture and hath appointed me a Prophet,
Quran 19:31
And hath made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and hath enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I remain alive,
Quran19:32
And (hath made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and hath not made me arrogant, unblest.
Quran 19:33
Peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!
Quran 19:34
Such was Jesus, son of Mary: (this is) a statement of the truth concerning which they doubt.

and about the Khoran:
barely any religion is a friend with the other, that most will know and accept but I mean that with taking down one with the biggest miracles/stories of the bible they could perhaps get some "weak sheep" to follow a new herd
Yes, I was trying to make that exact point - Christians and Jews are non believers in Islam, and thus an enemy unless they convert.
Christians, Jews and Muslims dont like each other anyway, even though their religions are basically exactly the same, and they all in its basic principle preach tolerance.
Torah and Bible to not refer directly to Muslims as the enemy or the ''non believers'', however. I believe Quran was altered, for some reason.
I think Bible directly attacks Pegans, and idol worshipers....i think. Unsure about that.
