The book is "What Islam is All About" by Yahiya Emerick. It's a great book which makes clear the beauty and teachings of Islam. But I'm appalled by its treatment of other religions.
It says:
"The Bible, in fact, is a jumbled-up mixture of many legends, fables, biographies, stories, tribal histories and ancient poems and such. No one who reads it gets the impression it is from Allah. In fact, Christians and Jews readily admit that it was put together by the hands of men long after the time of the Prophets. They even admit it is full of mistakes, contradictions, and untrue things! They just ignore those parts and say it doesn't matter."
This is such an unfair description of the Bible. Most Christians and Jews DO get the impression it is from God, so that part is a lie. And most Christians and Jews that I know do NOT say it has mistakes and contradictions. While it may indeed have mistakes and contradictions, it is incorrect to say that Jews and Christians "admit" this.
