Because Jesus came to save the world of its sins.
And the Islamic view is that:
The Holy Quran refers to Jesus as "Eesa", and this name is used more times than any other title, because this was his "Christian" name. Actually, his proper name was "Eesa" (Arabic), or "Esau". (Hebrew); classical "Yeheshua", which the Christian nations of the West Latinised as Jesus.
Neither the "J" nor the second "s" in the name Jesus is to be found in the original tongue - they are not found in the Semitic languages.
The word is very simply - "E S A U" - a very common Jewish name, used more than sixty times in the very first booklet alone of the Bible, in the part called "Genesis". There was at least one "Jesus" sitting on the "bench" at the trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin. Josephus the Jewish historian mentions some twenty five Jesus' in his "Book of Antiquities". The New Testament speaks of "Bar-Jesus", a magician and a sorcerer, a false prophet (Act 13:6); and also "Jesus-Justus", a Christian missionary, a contemporary of Paul (Colossians 4:11). These are distinct from Jesus the son of Mary.
Transforming "Esau" to (J)esu(s), Jesus makes it unique. This unique (?) name has gone out of currency among the Jews and the Christians from the 2nd century after Christ. Among the Jews, because it came to be the proper name of their God(?), their God incarnate. The Muslim will not hesitate to name his son "Eesa" because it is an honoured name, the name of a righteous servant of the Lord.
Messiah, is a term used in Judaism, Christianity and Islam for the redeemer figure expected in one form or another. The definition of the word is "savior or liberator; someone regarded as or claiming to be a savior or liberator of a country, people, or the world".

Why doesn't Israel celebrate Jesus's birthday?
Christian Answer:You must understand the Jews are still waiting for the messiah to be born. they refuse to take Jesus as the messiah as he was born in a stable and not in a palace as the king of the Jews should be born.Jewish Answer:Jesus has no relevance to the Jewish religion, which is the dominant religion in Israel. You might as well ask why the United States doesn't celebrate Buddha's birthday.And just a note to all Christians: First of all, Jews rejection of Jesus has NOTHING to do with where he was born. It is because the Jewish definition of "messiah" is completely different than the Christian definition. Also, not all Jews believe in the doctrine of a messiah. In fact, most believe it as a metaphor for a future time of peace. Only the Orthodox, and some Conservative Jews take it literally to mean a man.

You need to be clearer about what you mean by 'believe in'. Muslims have immense respect for Jesus as a prophet, and Jesus is mentioned in the Koran. So does this mean they 'believe' in him? They do as a prophet, yes. But they do not believe in the deity of Christ as do most Christians.
