The point was the resurrection AND the related message of atonement.So your miracles are real because they were bigger and badder.

I would say no for the following reason: I don't think the Islamic religion/theology is the best explanation for our observations about God and reality. It seems illogical to me to think that God would work miracles in support of a religion that denies the basics of the one I believe in.So your mythology is correct, but their mythology is bullshit.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
