Rephrased: Why Muslims use the Bible to criticize it and Christians use weird sources?

Don't Muslims say that the Koran has to be read in Arabic and that translations don't count?\n\nThat may be a reason.

Muslims believe that Bible was changed from its original version hence all these contradictions.

I am afraid that that question may never get a truthfull answer. I am not a christian, jew or muslim. I hav read the Quran (parts) and have always reference it to authentic sites.\n\nThe problem is that almost no christian would be able to read it open mindly because of their obsessive believ that Jesus "died for our sins". They refuse nto see that Sura 9, which is used to ambush muslims and islam, has to do with circumstances of war and the peace treaties.\n\nAlso, they accuse islam of polygamy yet throughout the bible polygamy occurs numerous times (remember solomon). And that no jew or christian criticise muhammad becoz of his wives during that time.\n\nThe truth is that unless people try their best to understand, without their previous misconceptions, that they will never learn.\n\nPeace, God bless

I have no reason to disprove the Quran it is your job as a person trying to convert me to prove that you are right and at the same time prove that I am wrong. If you cannot make a case for both then you should not expect converts.

The Quran and the Bible both have some things in common (in spite of the many differences) because they are both the words of Allah.\nHowever, sadly some changed the Bible and it is no more the words of God. \nSo, Allah send Muhammad PBUH as a messenger to correct the mistakes that both Christians and Jews made.\nand he promised Muslims the complete protection of their book.\nAnd it is to this day the same literally even the handwriting is kept the same.

Do they exactly say so? Not really. Let me tell you some points about Muslims' belief in Bible:\n1. Gospel was revealed to Eesa (Jesus). \n2. There is no longer any book that remained as it was revealed by Allah, neither the Gospel nor anything else, apart from the Qur’aan.\n\nBible was surely a valid source of truth. But it was written by people long after Jesus disappeared, whose level of knowledge and honesty is unknown. The contradictions in these books and their shortcomings are among the strongest evidence that they have been distorted and that they are not the Gospel (Injeel) that Allaah revealed to Jesus. \n\nMuslims definitely believe that Jesus was a major prophet, and bible was revealed to him from God (Allah), even though Christians deny Islam & Muhammad.

FIRST REASON:i think that some Christians hate the people who claim that they are Muslims.there are terrorists claiming  that they are Muslims so the Christians hate them and we as Muslims become very angry when we know that they are hating us.they do not hate us they hate the terrorist who claims that they are Muslims.\nSECOND REASON:the minority of the Christians do not the Islam and the Muslims they make their opinion about the Islam and the Muslims from the media and the media in the western try to make all the people hate the Islam and Muslims.\nTHIRD REASON:some Christians think that the Muslim hate them ,they do not look to Egypt (for example)the Muslims and the Christians live with each other a peacefully life ,they co-operate and cohabit with each other.they also think that we are close minded people and they think that we want to live a lone without cohabit or co-operate with any non-Muslim.finally:there are a lot of Christians know the truth of the Islam and they believe that it is the religion of peace.

Well first of all, answering-Islam.org is not exactly spot on about their Christian theology / history in places, so one should be careful about the Islamic theology / history that the site wrote themselves.  However, they do have a good collection of other people's works that are well vetted and scholarly.\n\nThey host The Original Sources of the Qur'an by W. St. Clair Tisdall which is a good book, if dated.\n\nAs a historian and a person with degrees in religion focusing on comparative religion, let me say this:  The Catholic/Orthodox Churches of Mohammed's time period considered Islam to be a Christian heresy and have enough sources and historical data to back this claim up.  (A Muslim might deny this, but it is a factual challenge to the origin of Islam and not an accusation without evidence)A good modern read before jumping into the historical primary sources would be to read the modern English historian Hilaire Belloc's "The Great Heresies" which you can read the pertinent chapter online here  \nhttp://www.ewtn.com/library/HOMELIBR/HERESY4.TXT\n\nI would also like to point out that Islam has since evolved and is its own religion by its own right and should not be considered a heresy of Christianity in its modern context.  Islam is no longer a synthesis of the beliefs of the 7th century Arabia but is its own contained theological systems that has moved far beyond its original sources.

All Christians interpret the Bible differently because it is so convoluted and contradictory.  They pick and choose which verses suit their own personal interests regardless of what anyone else thinks.  If the same one God was speaking the same words to everyone, then they should all have the same answer.  Clearly that isn't happening!  People are just using the bible as a weapon for their own gain.

First and foremost, I'd like to say, I REALY APPRECIATE YOUR QUESTIONS!  these are the same kind of questions I ask (for the most part)... Questions that force people to think and realize their own errors...\n\nSecondly, I am neither Christian, nor Muslim... I walk the path of shamanism...\n\nNow, DON'T HATE ME FOR MY ANSWER, BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THESE STATEMENTS, but they are my answer to the question...\n\nThe christinas would say that they're gonna go to hell, because "the only way to heave is through Jesus Christ"\n\nThe Muslims would probably say something to the effect of "heathen" or "infedel"...\n\nsince the bible can be found online EVERYWHERE, here's a copy of an english translation of the Koran http://www.erowid.org/spirit/traditions/islam/islam_koran1.pdf\n\nThere's a warning at the begining that should be obvious... due to translation, some of the subtlties were lost...

Thanks for debunking that baby smashing issue.\n\nIt strikes me as odd that the God-haters can find none of this negative text to rant about  in the new testament.\nWonder why that is?\n\nYou suppose its because the ancient world was filled with horrible evil people and God had to be harsh with them because they were downright wicked?   Huge  armies roamed about, plundering and pillaging everything they found. Maybe God knew things were going to become more civilized (at least for a little while) after Jesus came with the new message. \n\nGee, Jesus taught turn the other cheek, pray for your enemies. That doesn't sound like a hateful God to me.\n\nToo bad atheists can't come forward to the 21st century. \nThey accuse Christians of being stuck in the year 1000BC and yet the only part of the bible they care to quote comes from the BC era.  \n\nWonder why that is??\nBile spewing, hatefilled God haters. Sad, so sad.

As a christian... sometimes other christians come at you with the wrong approach which can cause some problems.  But don't hate because they are just trying to share they're joy that christianity has brought them.  it's up to you if you want to see what it is all about or not, and when you say no thanks they sometimes can get confused and defensive which is wrong.

Because most Christians are hypocrites. There's also a part in there that says women are "unclean" during their period and lists directions to sleep in your own bed without your husband and to go sacrifice an animal at the end to cleanse yourself. One of the many reasons I'm no longer a Christian...  When I asked people in my church "what gives?" with this verse and all the woman-bashing in the bible, they say "oh, we dont do that anymore", yet they still use this book as a form of worship. They still go around preaching about the "good book". Ironically, these are the first people to go around calling other people hypocrites. It's a messed up world. What can I say?

As a fellow Muslim, I do not think Christians, as a whole, hate Muslims.  However, I do believe there are ignorant people out there, Christian or not, who make false claims about Islam.  Oh well Brother, we know the Truth and that Islam is the right path.  We respect every religion and everyone.  We got lucky:)

I believe people slant the bible out of ignorance. They think what they say is right. You would be surprised how many Christians have never red the bible but they think they know the bible very well from listening to others talk about it. So naturally it is misquoted but usually it is unintentional. Good Christin people misquote and when others see them say something is from the bible they naturally think it is from God so the vicious cycle starts over. Now there are some Athens who will deliberately misquote the bible to misguide you. I would never do that I have red the complete Bible and studied much of it. Truthfully I find much of it quiet boring but some is fascinating. If I ever quote a passage from the bible it will be true. But many Atheist are so down on religion they will deliberately say thing are from the bible which are not. As for me I was baptized a Pentecostal Holiness when I was five years old it was after I became a teenager that I became an Atheist. I think people should be able to believe as they please. You see I'm a Christian Atheist. God bless kisses Betty.\n\nP.S. Oops sorry I thought you said slant. Anyway much abuse is caused in the same way.

Christianity has a long history of converting people "by the sword".  Just because they've decided in recent years that talking people to death is a better way to convert them doesn't mean that they don't have a long and violent history.  As for users of this line seeming content with accepting that any and all Muslims are terrorists, it's been my observation that most of the people who use this line are incredibly narrow-minded and blind to anything beyond what they believe, so are you really surprised that they'd rather stereotype all Muslims than hear an honest depiction of another religion?

I think it is the definition if irony. The Muslums are upset over the depiction of their prophet with a bomb for a turban and they then commit terrorist acts. They are provint the cartoon to be accurate. Have you seen any other religion act like this? Look at all of the bad depictions of Jesus there are. Do christians go around threatening violence?
