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

Well as far as the Bible I read it and I take it literally.  If I don't understand it I read the Strong's concordance. Whether it be in Hebrew or the Arabic translation, I read the translation and then understand it better. As far as the judging part I think we all do it one time of or another. It's wrong and we shouldn't do it, as we know. Being intolerable, again we all are one time or another, even unbelievers.  The ones who don't believe do think and criticize us a lot when we do human things, like judge, intolerance, gossip, or any other sin they can catch us in because it makes them feel better and possibly superior.  If we were perfect, we would be Jesus!

Maybe the Holy Quran hasn't changed in 14 hundred years but, I'll wager my life that no two Islamic sects interpret it the same way.  That being said, what's the difference?  The Quran and the bible are just fairy tales anyway.

simply because God has promised that he will save the Quran and he won't allow anybody to change anything from it!!prophet Mohammad(pbuh) had fought and struggled enough enable to let all people know what Quran is so God promised him that he would never let anybody change the holy Quran and i hope that it will never change!!God bless you!!

You mean Holy Quran\n\nHere is a nice comparison\n\nBible Compared to Quran\nBased on transcripts from lectures by Yusuf Estes & Dr. Gary Miller (combined).\n\nIntroduction by Yusuf Estes - \nIt should be stated at the outset of this work, that Muslims do not seek to put down or desecrete the Holy Bible. It is a matter critical matter of faith for Muslims to believe in the original revelations that came down to Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus, just as it is is important for Muslims to believe in the revelation of the Quran that came to Muhammad, peace be upon him. The key word here however, is "original." As we all know the origin of the Bible is clouded with centuries of copying, translating and passing down information, now long lost with only copies of manuscripts remaining to remind us of what once was the Bible.\n\nAdditionally, it should be noted that Muslims do not seek to destroy the Christians or Jews belief in the Word of God, rather it is an obligation for Muslims to call to what is right and to halt that which is evil. Certainly, causing the "People of the Book" (as the Quran refers to Christians and Jews) to fall into disbelief and leave off any faith in God at all, is the very opposite of the direction Muslims should take in presenting any comparison between Islam and what has come down in the past from the Almighty God. We only seek to bring about more light to the people seeking guidance and pray for all of us to be successful with our Lord in this life and in the Next life and we ask His Guidance and Support in doing so, ameen. \n\nTHE BIBLE\n[Yusuf Estes]\n\nOld Testament\n\nThere exists today a number of different versions in the ancient Hebrew language of the Jewish Book called the Torah [Law] and this is usually referred to in Christianity as The Old Testament. Naturally, there have been many different translations to a great number of languages over the centuries and one could not expect them to be identical in text or meaning. What we have in English today still remains somewhat similar to large amounts of these older documents.\n\nNew Testament\n\nThere are also different versions of the Gospel or what is commonly called The New Testament in the Koine Greek language and Latin and these also have many translations to even other langugaes. Even amongst the English translations there are great differences. To mention two very clear differences for example; the Catholic Bible [c. 325 A.D] contains 73 books in total, while the Protestant Bible contains only 66 books, and although the newer (Protestant version) was taken from the Catholic Bible even then these books do not match completely with each other. There is no common denominator for any of the many different versions of the Bible.\n\nDead Sea Scrolls\n\nThere have been a number of scrolls and parchments found in places surrounding what we call the "Holy Land" over the centuries, not the least of which are those often referred to as the "Dead Sea Scrolls" or as they are known to the scholars "Wadi Qumran Scrolls." These were discovered in the last century around 1930 and have been proven to be very ancient and could well be older than any other extant manuscripts. Much of what has been translated from these scrolls is similar to some of the oldest manuscripts, but there are still very important differences worthy of note. We would like to recommend some important reading on this topic at the end of this paper.\n\nTHE QURAN\n[Yusuf Estes]\n\nQuran Means "Recitation"\n\nThe word "Quran" means "that which is recited; or that which is dictated in memory form." As such, it is not a book, nor is it something that reaches us only in written form. The documentation in writting about the Quran has been preserved in museums thoughout the world, including the Topekopi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey, the museum in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and also in England. Keep in mind also, the Quran is on

The Bible has been altered by man to suit his whims.Where as the Holy Quran is in it's original context since its revelation to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

There is only one Bible but many translations so that people will understand Gods saving grace easilly. Different translations but the same saving gospel, the same God and Jesus amd messages and they are certainly not against each other, by assuming that it is against each other I'm also assuming that you didn't researched enough to see ig this notion is true. Do you agree that even ur Quran has been translated to english so engish speaking muslims can understand it? It's the same purpose as to why the Bible has many translations.

True!\n\nWe believe each and every verse in Quran is from Allah and is TRUE!\n\n Or say you that Ibrâhim (Abraham), Ismâ'il (Ishmael), Ishâque (Isaac), Ya'qûb (Jacob) and Al-Asbât [the twelve sons of Ya'qûb (Jacob)] were Jews or Christians? Say, "Do you know better or does Allâh (knows better… that they all were Muslims)? And who is more unjust than he who conceals the testimony [i.e. to believe in Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him when he comes, written in their Books. (See Verse 7:157)] he has from Allâh? And Allâh is not unaware of what you do."

They believe what they are told; also the stories have a creative way of teaching how, as humans, we should co-exist and the consequences if we don't. Why do you think the islamic world is in an uproar over a few silly cartoons? They are brainwashed into blindly accepting what others say is right or wrong, instead of learning to create, to explore and even to question what others believe and why.   The simple truth is that the vast majority are just too lazy to analyze what's right and wrong; when the easy answer is - that if you accept the bible as the word of god, then you only have to read it, live it and profess that I do it because the bible tells me so.

peace be upon you.\ni'm a muslim so i cannot answer this as it will be bias...\nto my non-muslim friends who quoted from Quran, please take extra steps to understand the context of the verse. look also at the full verse, the verses before and after it and also the history and the conditions when and why the verse(s) were revealed...\n\nlet me put out an example by giving a sentence,\n\na policeman shot dead the man as self defense.\n\nif i take just take the 1st half of the sentence, of course the policeman looks bad. but what if we know the full context...\n\nAllah knows best.\n\npeace

i think u need to open the bible and read it , u are taking things way out of context. maybe read something before u start asking these questions that even if we gave u the answer u still won't understand. im not going to try to explain the whole bible to u, u can't just take 1 verse and go from there about what its talking about

I am afraid you did not even discover this "wonderful" world of Islam by yourself. Muslims are severly misled by their scholars who try to twist historical facts. Please read Bukhary, Muslim and Quran by yourself without using interpretation from scholars and you will find many violent actions that should be denounced.

A very good question. Thanks for the verse; I didn't even know that was in the Quran. I would be interested to know how what the Muslims say on this one.
