I would imagine there is a very low percentage of Christians who know anything about what is in the Quran.

I think there are some truths in the Q'uran. The question is whether I believe that it is the divinely inspired word of God. No, I don't. I think that if there is a mixture of truth and falsity that the foundation falls apart. There has also been a lot of questions and debate by others who argue whether the god of Muhammad is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Abraham was a polytheist prior to his encounter with God. One of his family gods was the moon god. But when he converted, so did his household, of which Ishmael was a part. There is also a question as to whether the muslims heredity actually traces to Ishmael in truth, or whether this is the oral tradition without basis in fact. I don't know if there's anything to these debates or not, so I try to stay out of it and just listen to both sides, but there is at least a question that needs to be considered. Those answers lend more to the possible authenticity of the Qu'ran, but it is not the only question. It comes back to whether Muhammad was a false prophet or whether he was really divinely inspired by the God of the Bible. Just a Christian perspective. I put very little stock in it.
One other thing: Christian scripture tells us to test the spirits to see whether they are from God. Any spirit who claims that Jesus is the Son of God who came in the flesh and that God raised Him from the dead is truly of God. Anything that denies that is a lying spirit. Based on that, I have to reject the Qu'ran.

- The Quaran contains Biblical passages, so those portion must be true, but the rest of it must be false.
- The truth only has one version.....itself. It doesn't need anything to re-tell it nor dopes it need additional support.
- Mohammed was a reader of the Bible that is why he included it in the Quaran, the Bible was his basis for writing the Quaran.
- Oh, by the way I have a Quaran at home & some of my family members are Muslims.
- Why believe in an off-shoot of the original, it makes more sense to go straight to the source...The Holy Bible.

No it can't all be 100% false because Muhammad stole some from the Holy Bible. That is the only way someone can deceive so many people. Throw in a little truth, or else it would be dismissed by everyone. Christians know that it is a false teaching, with a false prophet that was designed to turn people away from God. And unfortunately it has worked.
May God Bless you.

Read below, and "click on the website below" and you'll understand why christians, and many others, do not think the Qur'an is accurate, holding Truth. You may want to Patiently read the information in this site. I did not create the site.
Islam does not recognize the bible as the word of God, only the Qur'an as being the word of God. To Muslims, "only" the words of the Qur'an hold God's{in Arabic, = Allah) Truths, not the bible. Only your Holy life could possibly be enough of an example to draw them in.
You might want to go to this website below, to get some background on the Messenger of Allah, the Islam Prophet, who started Islam.
I did not create the website, but the truths their come from Islamic Encyclopedia's, etc. Be of a strong mind, as you read the information.

Of course not, there are bits of truth in most things false. If I told you it's healthy to take daily vitamins, and it's recommended to take 35 a day, welll... as a whole, it would be untrue (and would kill you if you followed my instruction), but there is some truth in that "it's healthy to take daily vitamins."
Simply because there are snatches of truth mixed in doesn't alter the fact that I believe the Quaran as a whole is not.

The Qua ran is made up of Jewish Law, Christianity and Muhammad's law. Muhammad's law is the bad part. It is not right to force others to believe or cut off their heads at the neck. Forgot they start with the fingers and work their way up. Sorry I would rather be forced by love, ,mercy, compassion and truth.
I also do not believe it is right to have sexual relations with children. Where I come from this is called "Child Abuse". This is good reason for a person to spend quality prison time.
One last point that I have to make, I do not consider Jesus as merely a prophet but the Son of God. I do not just consider the Old Testament but the New Testament as my truth. Jesus was sent that all that would believe would come unto Him. Not the few.

There is truth in the Koran. Things that don't contradict with the Word of God (Holy Bible). Most of the Names of God written of are the LORD Gods Names. (I just believe the snake is usurping the LORD Gods identity.) The snake always tricked man by saying a true word of God, then added a deception. It is the oldest trick of the devil. He tempted Jesus in His humanity, the same way he tricked the first Adam. Jesus taught us how to answer the devil. Jesus always started with, "It is written...". Jesus confirmed many of the old testament prophet books by referring to them.
The Truth of the Bible is about the promised Messiah and Redeemer of Mankind. To save us from our sins and that we can have eternal life.
The foundation is to confess Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God, Lord & Savior of our life. That He shed his own blood for our redemption (washed away our sins) and raised from the dead defeating the curse of sin & death for us.
The Koran steals (denies) this foundation, the Foundation of Christ. The foundation that Christ said He would build His Church and the gates of hell will not prevail. It writes that Jesus didn't die on the cross to atone for our sins, and that he isn't the Son of the Living God.

Satan mixes truth with lies...It doesn't take 100% lies to makes something a work of the devil all you have to do is deny the truth and the truth is denied throughout. Edit to Adia You have not a single prophet's word in the Qu'ran You have Muhammad's word as to what a prophet said...If you want to read what the prophet himself said read the Bible. The books of the prophets are there. Muhammad saying Jesus said this is not the words of Jesus nor is any other prophet in his words you are not in agreement with the words of the prophets but Muhammad liked their names. Read Isiah and see the prophesies of the Messiah and his atonement to save his people and see if you still feel you are in agreement with God's prophets?

I don't really know if every verse is false or not, since I have never read the Quran. I do believe that the Quran is based on a faulty premise; that God saw fit to send a prophet to change His message after He had sent His only begotten Son to die in order to bring the message of salvation by grace. And I really find it difficult to put much trust in an individual who lived the life which Mohammed lived, and then tries to tell us he was a prophet.

Like so many lies of Satan, there is plenty of truth to disguise the false. But it is in the essentials of the Islamic faith that differentiates truth from error.
The god of Muhammad is not the God of the Bible. Here's why I say this:
In Islam, the Qur'an states rather clearly, "Proclaim: Allah is One. Allah is Eternal. He neither begets nor was begotten." (Surah 112:1-4)
In Christianity, we believe that Jesus was begotten. (John 1:14) Jesus clearly states that He is God: "Truly, truly I tell you, before there was an Abraham, I am!" (John 8:58) Naturally, there are many other examples I could use, but it wouldn't really help.
Now, we have a conundrum. Either Islam is right, and Jesus is not God, nor begotten; or Christianity is right, and Jesus is God, and is begotten. We can't have it both ways. Islam will never hold to a belief that Jesus is God. And Christians will not accept that Jesus is not God, and is not begotten. Therefore, they do not worship the same God.
