Was Jesus Impolite when He Called His Mother "Woman"?

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
--John 2:4

Was this insulting, as some claim?  Did people ever have to wonder with Jesus if they were being insulted? Consider these verses:

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou?
--John 20:15

O woman, great is thy faith!
--Matt 15:28

Woman, behold thy son!
--John 19:26

Finally, an unbiased reading of the Quran shows that Muhammad thought that Christians worshiped three gods: the Father, the Mother (Mary), and the Son (Jesus), (Sura 5:73-75,116).

If Jesus really was being insulting to his mother, how can Christians justify the idea that Mary is a God from the Bible?
