Dave...Jesus confirmed the Old Testament..and there is nothing in the Bible about Muhammed.

Muslim rejection of the NT is contrary to the owerwhelming manuscrit evidence.

Muslims do not reject all the NT. They like the parts that support their belief, for example the part that Jesus did not claim to be God. That is only suited to fit their doctrinal interests, and they are declared authentic. And when Muslims pronounce specific biblical messages authentic, it is not because they have better manuscript evidence for ti as opposed to those they consider unauthentic.
The whole concept of corruption or tahrif, crucial as it is to Islamic claim, has no actual textual support...NONE

The new Testament in the times of Mohammed and todays are the same. the Quran confirms this too.
there were 24'000 copies of the NT made more than of any other historical scripture. so they can be crossed checked for authenticity
Another proof are the Dead Sea Scrolls which confirm the old and new Testament.
Muslims claim the NT has been changed because the Quran is different. But that's just a claim. No one has proof of when, who and what was changed in the Bible. I wonder if you get an answer to this.

You dont have to be Muslim to know that answer. The Bible was originally written somewhere around 200 to 250 years after Jesus died. At that time and now there were many versions of the Bible -many said God told them to write the story. There are of course many different versions of the story of Jesus and only some were put in the Bible you read today. After time the Catholic church became the most powerful entity of the time and declared that the other remaining "bibles " were not of interest and they fell into disrepair very few exist today. What this means is that the Bible read by all is the accepted version but what if it isnt the right version? Many verses would read differently written by a different hand. Their meaning would change. So much was destroyed and distorted.

Research for yourself how old the oldest manuscript of the New Testament is - then research when the New Testament was created.
You will see the oldest Christian texts were from the late 1st century 'After Christ'. That's a lot. It means that all those living in Jesus' time were probably already gone. The composition of the Bible was a process in which some texts were accepted, while others weren't - in the 4th century AD (if I'm not mistaken). One sign of that is that the Protestant Bible has a few texts missing that the Catholic Bible does have.

There is nothing in the Injeel about Prophet Muhammed(PBUH*) because the Injeel and Torah are not the original books that were sent down to Musa(PBUH*) and Isa(PBUH*). The Injeel and Torah were changed from their original messasges by man. Mainly the Catholic church. I'm not sure when this happened. Musa and Isa(PBUT*) were sent by ALLAH to preach Islam to their people. Some people followed them and became Muslims. However not all of them did. Therefore Muslims like myself don't respect the corrupted Injeel and Torah.

None, belief plays a big role, not evidence. If Muslims want to believe that the NT was distorted and are content with that, let them, it's their religion.

They have the same evidence that the Christians have to say that the OT message was distorted. Mohammad said so in their case and Jesus said so in the Christian's case.
Take pork. Jesus said that the OT message was wrong and it was alright to eat pork. Mohammad said the NT message was wrong and the OT message was right and it was wrong to eat pork. Is there proof on either side?

Dear,the true bible wasn't written by any author,it was revealed to Jesus (pbuh),exactly as the Quran.(this is the greatest evidence that it was written by someone whose name is on the book.)

What evidence does anyone have about anything?

Would you actually believe them if they had this evidence?
Or would you deny it's existence because it goes against what you believe?
