No...here's some more for you to read...
The Verse Of The Sword from Al-Tawbah
Fight and slay the pagans (infidels) wherever ye find them, and seize them,
beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war." - Sura 9:5
"Prophet, make war on unbelievers and hypocrites, and deal rigorously
with them." - Sura 9:73
"Let not the unbelievers think they will ever get away. They have not
the power to do so. Muster against them all the men and cavalry at
your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of Allah
and your enemy... Prophet, (Muhammed) rouse the faithful to arms!
If they (the non-Muslims) incline to peace (accept Islam) make
peace with them." - Sura 8:59
"If they reject your judgement, know that it is Allah's wish to scourge
them for their sins." - Sura 5:49
"Believers (Muslims), take neither Jews nor Christians to be your
friends: they are friends with one another.
Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number,
and God does not guide (those Jewish and Christian) wrong-doers." - Sura 5:51
"Not Jesus, but a look alike, was substituted and crucified at the Cross." -4:157

I am Muslimah and there is nothing wrong with reading the Qu'ran. I read the Torah the Bible I also read about Hinduism Buddhism and other religion lifestyles and believes to get a grasp on all the knowledge available!
Read, Understand ,ask questions and learn, choose, go the way of seeking knowledge really- read!

I know some very well educated Christian believers who have studied the Qur'an so that they would know how to talk to Muslims about the Lord. I believe it is okay to do so as long as you do it while keeping your heart aligned with God's purpose in your life. God said in the Old Testament, My people perish for lack of knowledge. It is always good to know exactly what you are up against when you may have to stand your ground when it comes to your faith.

It depends on where your heart is in reading it. In my ideals, no it is not. As long as your heart is truely remaing steadfast on God. If you are reading the qur'an as a source for out reaching to muslims...than it is a great thing to do. I have read it because I am versed in Gailic (irish) Muslim, and English...I felt reading the qur'an would help me reach out the muslim women. If you are going to the qur'an as a biblical answers key, I would suggest staying away from it......unless you intend to turn muslim, which I hope you don't. But as long as your intentions are good, then I think it is a good thing to do...just to be well versed in what those you are trying to help, believe.
I hope I answered your question, thanks for answering it.
God bless you

no it's not wrong to read others religions books, but you must be careful how you read them and never practicing their roots. because yours is different. alot of those religions donnot believe in
jesus as the son of God and most of them believe on old testament. and also some of them believe that their heaven is on this earth. so if you are a true christians you cannot believe on what their believe, you must follow your owen roots ,the christians roots ,because God said he's going to prepared a
place for us, but he did not say this earth. so i wish you good luck
with your studying may the lord be with you

No i don't believe so. It is good to understand what they believe. I believe Aristotle said "it is the sign of an educated man to be able to reflect on an idea without accepting it" as it is good to understand their beliefs if we are to educatedly argue a point or even try to convert

no..
I think Christians should read and know the Bible first however... then read the book..
How can you witness to someone when you can not tell them what is right or wrong about what they believe...
don't be offended by what I am saying...

If you know what is real, counterfeit is easy to spot...

No because Jesus is not afraid for you to read about other religions. He expects you to use your brain tho.

I've got a copy of many holy books, (Koran included).
Jesus tells us to "test the spirits".
