the qualifications for the Messiah are articulated in the OT, specifically IIRC Isiah. the word used there is "son of an 3alma

By default all guys are sons of a woman, and usually the woman is
young, and at that time people didn't live to old age so often, so
what would be the point in mentioning that the Messiah would be the
son of a young woman? It's more likely that some special meaning
was intended by that. Not that with all the people contemporay with
Isaiah long gone we are in a very good position to pinpoint it, but
'virgin' doesn't seem unreasonable.

except that most jews don't interpret it as so.

And just why does that make the interpretation unreasonable? It's not
like jews are in a special position to judge it (except if you're referring to jews living at the time Isaiah was written, but do we know the opinion of those?).

the Gospels seek to prove that Jesus was the Messiah", but they
chose to follow the LXX rather than the hebrew bible and made
Jesus into the son of a virgin. this reasoning assumes hte
gospels are more of a literary device. but yes, if one takes the
word of the gospels, Jesus was the son of a virgin.
Hey, one can also take the word of the Quran.

the Quran is more complex. Mary was a virgin, Jesus had no father,
not even (ans especially not) God.

'Mary was a virgin' is what's being discussed.
