Sometimes Muslims claim that resurrected bodies are "spiritualized" or "angelized".

Ahmed Deedat emphasizes the part about "they are equal to the angels" in Luke Chapter 20 (below), and says that in the resurrection people are "spiritualized" or "angelized". He does this to show that Jesus did not die on the cross, or else he would have been a spirit. However the question that Jesus was asked was about marriage, not about resurrection bodies.
Here is the passage Deedat quotes:
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
--Luke 20:34-6
In fact it was clearly Luke's intent to show that Jesus was not a spirit when he was resurrected, as can be seen here:
And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
--Luke 24:36-40
