"Muslims revere Jesus, but believe that their later prophet was "greater", said a post on the "Caliphate" thread.

So I have always understood. I was taught in a series of excellent comparative religion lessons given to the VIth form by my headmaster back in the late 40s that, though to a Muslim Mohammed is the one True Prophet, he himself named others, among them Moses & Jesus, who should be regarded as predecessors of his to whom much of the Truth was revealed, so that they should be revered as minor prophets by his own followers. I have never been able to reconcile this with the obvious and ever-manifest hostility of Islam towards Judaism & Christianity.

Have I got this right? If so, can anyone explain this apparent anomaly in traditional Islamic thinking?
