The Koran is made up of the Torah and the Injeel, for the major part, which are their versions of the Old and New Testament, Sir; and then the Hadiths by Mohammad and others.
Muslims are expressly forbidden [hara'am] from reading any other versions as this could "contaminate" their minds.
Merry Christmas!
Edit:
Perhaps the Muslims who have Answered here are unaware of that, though.

Islam doesn't disallow to read the Bible. We Muslims believe that Bible was word of God revealed upon prophet Jesus (pbuh) It is one of the 4 major divine revelations. But, it has been changed overtime and the divinity of the Bible has been taken away.
You can find almost all famous Muslim scholars who studied the Bible. It is important to scrutinize other religions and books to understand the perfection of Islam. So did the scholars. If possible, see some videos by Dr. Zakir Naik. He is a prominent Muslim orator who memorized Bible such a way that he can quote any verse from it while needed.
P.S. The answerer Ramsey above has absolutely no idea about Islam.

Well u don't know a whole lot about Islam. The four sacred books of Islam are Quran, Injeel(Bible), Torah and Zaboor(I do not know the translation for Zaboor. Muslims believe that the contemporary Bible is not the same as the Bible they believe in since it has been altered a lot. My dad in Pakistan used to read the Bible decades ago. I sometimes read the Bible for the interesting stories.
Yes tree hugger good question, have u read the Quran. You cannot even spell Quran.

I have read the bible and i find it funny more than anything, you believe in OTHER people's interpretation of Jesus (pbuh). (more specifically Paul/Saul)
And also i found it interesting you have NO IDEA who wrote the old testament.
Who wrote the Numbers, Deutronomy, Leviticus, Genesis, and Exodus. Answer: Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, and Unknown.
Moses could not write it because you are told at least 700 times "And Moses said unto the Lord" "And The Lord said unto Moses" "And Moses said unto the Lord"...
clearly written in third person. that means Moses (pbuh) never wrote it nor did God.

I have read parts of it and my goal is to read all. There are some Muslim scholars I know that have even memorized Bible as they have memorized Quran.

the bible doesnt permit christians to explore other religions.
i read the bible from cover to cover many times and i'm now a Muslim.
many Muslims have read the Bible and many Muslims scholars have studied the bible.
Edit: Ramsey what gives you the right to say that we Muslims are unaware of our OWN religion??!!! perhaps it's YOU who are unaware of Islam. better keep your ignorance for yourself next time, SIR.

Islam teaches to seek knowledge and to educate ourselves. For those of us who wish to yes, we can read it. Most of us have no reason to, some read it to have better understanding of Christians, and some for comparitive religion purposes. Our prophets are your prophets as well. We read it to hear the stories of the prophets first and foremost, but we dont regard everything in it to be true.
