Luke 1:35 (AV)
And the angel answered and said unto her,
The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,
and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:
therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee
shall be called the Son of God.
Luke 1:35 actually defines the phrase "Son of God" and the islamist teaching agrees that Jesus is the Son of God, all their disclaimers notwithstanding. To make their claim, they have to ignore the clear New Testament definition. Often they will emphasize Trinitarian doctrinal confusions about "God the Son", a phrase that simply has nothing to do with the New Testament scriptures.
Read the annunciation from the quran. That is where you see that their actual belief about Jesus is consistent with the New Testament definition of the Son of God. From the Christian side, the emphasis is simply what the New Testament says, not claimed creedal conjectures. Of course, if you have a different definition of 'Son of God' than what is given by Luke, this argument from consistency will be hard to use.
======================
========================Surah 21:91 is the key quran verse, here are two translations:
http://corpus.quran.com/translation.jsp ... 1&verse=91
And [mention] the one who guarded her chastity, so We blew into her [garment] through Our angel [Gabriel], and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds
And (remember) she who guarded her chastity [Virgin Maryam (Mary)], We breathed into (the sleeves of) her (shirt or garment) [through Our Ruh Jibrael (Gabriel)], and We made her and her son ['Iesa (Jesus)] a sign for Al-'Alamin (the mankind and jinns).
=======================
Surah 66:12 is also very relevant:
http://www.alquranenglish.com/quran-sur ... ranslation
"And Maryam (Mary) daughter of Imran, who kept safe her private parts, (i.e., safeguarded) so We breathed in it of Our Spirit, and she sincerely (believed) in the Words of her Lord, and His Books; and she was one of the devout. - Dr.Ghali
Granted, the islamist annunciation has some differences from the New Testament. That, of course, is not surprising.
There are Christians involved in apologetics and strong in Arabic who would say the quran account implies a sexual component, unlike the New Testament account. This is involving the translation above [garment], An interesting issue, however not really relevant to the question of affirming that Jesus was born of the virgin Mary.
For those interested in more background, there are these two articles can be a reasonable starting point.

========================
SIDENOTE:
Apparently the quran also confused Mary with Miriam, the true sister of Aaron and daughter of Amram. The islamic response is that it was a wider use of the words, e.g. brother is used in a more metaphorical, historical sense. Or maybe she did have a brother name Aaron.

Other discussions earlier, one is in our skeptic archive. That may have emphasized the sexual component. And I will see if I remember how to search those archives, however http://bcharchive.org does not do anything.
