One is a poor counterfeit of the other. A righteous God who could not agree with sin said the wages of sin is death. Then came to the world in the form of man Jesus Christ to overcome temptation and pay the penalty of death thus righteously perfecting his people. The other God simply says through repentence and good deeds a man can be saved. Calling what was considered sin no longer sin and your salvation can not be assured...he claims to be the same God but is not in any way the same. The Bible has Prophets who made Prophesies of the coming Mesiah and the world. The Qu'ran accepts the name of some of these prophets and denys their prophesies as corrupt. Basicly we have God's word and then we have the Qu'ran which borrows a few names and disagrees with everything else.

The Qur'an (Koran) contains many references to people and events that are mentioned in the Bible; especially the stories of the prophets of Islam, among whom are included Moses, David and Jesus.
Muslims believe that Moses was given the Tawrat (Hebrew Torah, or 'the Law'); that David was given the Zabur (or psalms) and that Jesus was given the Injil (Greek evangel, or Gospel) from the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God (Allah in Arabic). Traditionally, Muslims have believed that parts of these teachings were eventually lost or distorted to produce what is now the Hebrew Bible and the Christian New Testament. Hence Muslims traditionally neither deny or accept the accuracy of the Bible but believe that the Qur'an is the only remaining uncorrupted revelation.
The stories of the Biblical figures mentioned in the Qur'an often contain few details and tend to concentrate more on the moral or spiritual significance of the story.
Some Muslims may turn to the Bible to give a fuller picture of the person concerned. However there are guidelines set out in the way Muslims are to understand the Bible, the primary one being that the Qur'an is always more authoritative than the Bible. Therefore, anything in the Bible that agrees with the Qur`an is accepted, and anything in the Bible that disagrees with the Qur`an is rejected. Some things in the Bible are not talked about at all in the Qur`an or in the sunnah; in regards to such passages, Muslims are instructed to neither believe nor disbelieve in them, but they are allowed to read them and pass them on if they wish to do so.
Particular Muslims such as the Mu'tazili and Ismaili sects (accounting for a fairly small percentage of the total Muslim population ), as well as various liberal movements within Islam, believe that different revelations are created by God for the needs of particular times and places.
In Islam, some incidents and details of the prophets that are not mentioned in the Qur'an are mentioned in the Hadith .
There are several events that are present in both holy books in some form. The Biblical versions are concerned mainly with narrative and detail, whilst the Qur'anic versions are much more concerned with the stories as parables and moral teachings and they often contain little in the way of detail.
The events are listed in the order that they appear in the Bible, as they appear chronologically in the Bible while they often do not in the Qur'an.

The Quran copied the Bible. There is nothing in the Quran that is new. The authors of the Quran wanted to be like the Jews so they took passages from the Jewish texts.

Yes they have similarities such as they both are based on the same guidelines with god. Jesus is mentioned in the Quran. They have alot of similarities because they came from the same basic religion.

they are both similar .. in everything ... same Prophets , same principal .. the similarity is big .. and the one thing that prevents them from being united is that in the quran it is considered wrong to call Jesus god .. he is in a way the spiritual son of god .. and he sent him to send a message of love and peace other wise im sure they are the same in every way
