It is by those who read the Koran. Now, I have to find mine and dig out the 
sloka that has the statement, but Jesus is specifically referred to as not 
only having escaped the crucifixion but also standing and watching the 
execution of his substitute.

This is a tradition taken from the Gnostics, several of which sects stated 
that Jesus essentially hypnotized someone into taking his place and stood in 
the crowd laughing.
