Everyone that lived before Muhammad -- are they all going to hell because they didn't have the Qur'an? If the Qur'an is the "real" truth from God, then why didn't God give the Qur'an to Moses, instead of the Torah? Why did he wait until as "recently" as the 7th century to "correct" things? If the Bible is false, then why would God allow mankind to live through centuries being "decieved" by the Bible, before "fixing" it in the 7th century?

Before Mohammad there were many other prophets, they were sent by Allah (God) to every nation. Each prophet, with the exception of Muhammad, was sent to convey God's message to a specific group of people or nation. Muhammad's mission is viewed as one for the whole of mankind.
Some of the prophets:
1.1 Adam آدم
1.2 Idris (Enoch) ادريس
1.3 Nuh (Noah) نوح
1.4 Hud (Eber) هود
1.5 Saleh (Shelah) صالح
1.6 Ibrahim (Abraham) إبراهيم
1.7 Lut (Lot) لوط
1.8 Ismail (Ishmael) اسماعيل
1.9 Ishaq (Isaac) اسحاق
1.10 Yaqub (Jacob) يعقوب
1.11 Yusuf (Joseph) يوسف
1.12 Ayub (Job) أيوب
1.13 Shoaib (Jethro) شعيب
1.14 Musa (Moses) موسى
1.15 Harun (Aaron) هارون
1.16 Dhul-Kifl (most likely Ezekiel) ذو الكفل
1.17 Dawood (David) داوود
1.18 Sulayman (Solomon) سليمان
1.19 Ilyas (Elijah) إلياس
1.20 Al-Yasa (Elisha) اليسع
1.21 Yunus (Jonah) يونس
1.22 Zakariya (Zacharias) زكريا
1.23 Yahya (John the Baptist) يحيى
1.24 'Isa ibn Maryam (Jesus) عيسى
1.25 Muhammad محمد
so there's no excuse

No, Muslims don't believe like that. You do not have an understanding of Islam.
Believers will enter Paradise
[2:62] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
Covenant with Israel
[2:63] We made a covenant with you, as we raised Mount Sinai above you: "You shall uphold what we have given you strongly, and remember its contents, that you may be saved."
[2:64] But you turned away thereafter, and if it were not for God's grace towards you and His mercy, you would have been doomed.
[2:65] You have known about those among you who desecrated the Sabbath. We said to them, "Be you as despicable as apes."
[2:66] We set them up as an example for their generation, as well as subsequent generations, and an enlightenment for the righteous
Some Jews and Christians converted to Islam during Prophet Muhammad's because they realized, through the Bible prophecies, that he was the last Prophet. Muslims believe different things concerning the Bible, some beleive it was changed a lot, some just a little, and others that the translations are just wrong and that the current Christians and Jews interpret wrongly ilike the misguided fore fathers in Rome and Europe.
Like I'm wandering if I read a bible in Hebrew (Old) and Arabic (New) if it would be different then the translations that are comming out.

Throughout history, different messengers with slightly different messages were sent to diverse societies. The reason was the religious needs of humanity were growing and developing just as the human race was growing and developing. Also, diverse civilizations needed to be approached differently in relation to guidance. Nevertheless, the source and basic message behind the calling was the same: That there was only one Allah.
Allah sent Moses with the Torah as light and guidance for the Children of Israel along with many other prophets such as David and Solomon. Fifteen hundred years after Moses, Allah sent Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming the Torah and bringing the Gospel, which is also a book of guidance and light. Finally, six hundred years after Jesus, Allah sent Prophet Muhammad with the Qu’ran to confirm all the messages sent before him and to complete the revelation of a universal religion to humanity.
Since all the Judeo-Christian-Islamic prophets were sequentially sent, the question arises as to why Judaism, Christianity, and Islam now exist as separate religions. The answer is that the followers of these religions, particularly Judaism and Christianity, interpreted the teachings of their prophets differently. The Qu’ran says:
Verily, the religion with Allah is Islam [total submission to Allah’s will]; and those whom the Book had been given did not differ but after the knowledge [the truth] had come unto them, out of envy among themselves (3:19).
Nevertheless, many scholars consider the different religions as a divine test.
The Qu’ran says:
For each of you, We have made a Law and a clear way. If Allah had willed, He would have made you one nation but that He may test you in what He has given you. So strive as a race in good deeds. Your return is to Allah; then He will inform you about that which you used to differ (5:48).

No they are not going to hell, all the Qur'an did was replace the previous truths with the one and final truth, people who lived by Moses'(pbuh) ways with the book that was given to him and who obeyed God's orders will go to heaven, you have to understand not all early Christians were the same, many Christians believed that Jesus(pbuh) was just a prophet. The Bible we know today is not the original that is for sure. It was man who changed the Bible, woe to them who change the word of God and call it the word of God.

If the Bible is the truth (and it is, in it's original form), then why was it not given to Abram?
The fact is the original Scriptures got corrupted by Jews and Christians, the same goes for the all the Divine Revelation before them. That is a good enough reason for me to send the "Last Testament" , the Noble Qur'an, 1427 years on, and it remains intact and it will last uncorrupted to the day of Judgement.

salam aaron,
you really ought to take a break and drink some tea or take a nap somewhere in the middle of this. so much hatred must get your blood pressure up.
in reference to your question:
islam is the continuation of the first two Abrahamic faiths. It is considered perfect after Prophet Muhammad came b/ it was finished and sealed.
imagine you are painting..... when you finish it is done and it is perfect. this does not make your first strokes incorrect or ugly.... we view Islam to be the last stroke in a beautiful painting but Christians and Jews and their legacy are a necessary part of that beauty
Allah knows best
asalamwalaikum

well! fellow
Quran is not a seperate book,it's the word of God.islam is the conclusion of all religions christanity,judaism,n Quran is the conclusion of both Bible, n Toraoh.(but both these prestigious books have been ammended thousand of times since past years).we believe,that
Abraham(pbuh) showed presence of God
Moses(pbuh) showed the power of God
Jesus(pbuh) showed love of God
N Muhammad(pbuh) showed laws n principles of God.
Islam is the conclusive religion,by Allah(God).
as God,knew man's understanding capability,he initially revealed His presence,then His powers,then His love n blessings n finally what He want from us,leading our lives according to His rules thats Islam.....
we respect all books n all prophets from Adam including Moses,Jesus,N finally Muhammad(peace be upon them)
n ppl before islam wont be asked or sent to hell,but ppl after islam's reveal will definately,be asked about it.

No one saud that. Jews who died before the messege of Christ are not to blame and so are the Chrisitians who died before the messege of Muhammad. Judaism is true and so is Christianity but for the time it was meant to reach the people till a new messege arrived.

God sent several prophets before Muhammad pbuh and only those who refuse or against these prophets do not have chances to get to heaven.
