You don't, neither for that matter do you know the Bible... that is why it is called Faith.

I think your question could be better formed by asking if it is a true representation of the words and philosophy of a great prophet.
Of course, the Qu'ran is "real", any object that has weight, shape, form, mass, texture is real. The same can be said about the Bible.
As any student of history will tell you, all written history has a flavor of bias present in the writer's mind as they put the words to paper. I view both the Bible and the Qu'ran as historical documents. History has the unfortunate property of being promoted by the people or party or group who hold the power.
What I wonder about is why all the different "Sons of Abraham" are fighting against each other. The current philosophical differences between the Sunni and the Shia seem to the rest of the non-Islamic world to be a battle of "Daddy always liked me better", as in which of the sons of Mohammed (PBUH) inherits the "farm". Brother killing Brother just isn't a way to solve a family quarrel.

I watched the video - what an arrogant s.o.b. he is. Beside he is wrong from the get go - a more recent book of the way has been produced and that is the Book of the Mormons. Under this man's foolish thinking he is in error and needs to join the Church of Latter Day Saints. After watching it I was thinking if I was a believer in the Book of th Mormans - I would like my websites to gain converts.

we can't.
there's no historical evidence that suggests its authenticity.
There are many fallicies found in islam and the belief in the Quran. Moslty due to the fact that Muslims believe in the prophets of the Old Tetstament and believe that Muhammad was a prophet on par with Jesus Christ. The problem is that what Muhammad said in the Quran and what Jesus said in the New Testament do not agree.
Read for yourself and compare. Only one can be true. I choose to believe the one that contains more that is historically authenticated.

How do you know the bible is real, you don't. But people believe that the religion they were raised on since birth is a true good religion or whatever. And no matter what they religion they all have one thing in common, there's a better, divine place we all go to once we die.
No religion is more true or less real than the other. Whose to said that only on religion is the real religion and the people who worship differently will go to hell. Why can't they be many religion's all true and all real.

As a religious text, it really doesn't matter if it's "real" or not. Those who beleive it's words consider it real.
I don't personally think the Book of Mormon is a valid religious text, but millions of Latter Day Saints say otherwise. That is their choice, just like it is someones choice to beleive in the Bible or the Koran.

Your question is vague. What do you mean "real"? If by "real" do you mean - whether it is a genuine revelation from God? If so, my answer is an emphatic BOLD, CAPITAL LETTERS - NO.
The Bible on the other hand by the mere nature of its messages -
(Love your enemies; Love your neighbor as yourself) seem to me how God would like us to treat other human beings instead killing people that do not share your faith. This is a very loaded question of course and I need to write a "thesis" to at least scratch the surface.

You can't..It fulfilled NO prophecys. The originator could not read or write and was a pedofile. NOT a valid book about God. It is about the life of a man Muhammad and nothing more.

How do you know an atom exists? Just because scientists tell you. You have to have faith. Besides, there are many scholars and followers of the Prophet (peace be upon him) who have provided us with proof.

To find out if its true or false you should act like an intelligent people should do. Read it with your language and then make your own jugement. May God give you the answer.
