I ask this because more and more Christian leaders (including the Pope) are calling for their followers to openly accept other faiths as equally valid.
Is this just political correctness, or was the Koran inspired by God?

These "christian leaders" are handling political correctness the wrong way. While we should accept others who have different beliefs, we should not embrace their beliefs. Accepting people and embracing their beliefs are two completely different things. Was it David or Soloman who messed up by trying to be politically correct to the point of bowing down to some idol? I don't remember which it was, but he paid for it. The koran is not the inspired by God, its inspired by a wanna-be prophet who got mad at the christians and Jews when they wouldn't accept him as a prophet and added the "kill all infidels" to his personally inspired koran.

Christians must not accept the Koran. Allah is not our God. Allah was a pagan Arab moon god, and Muhammad was not a prophet.
Jesus said we should know our enemies so we can defeat them, so Christians should read the Koran. You will clearly see that it tells Muslims to do what God says is evil, and even says Muhammad could have sex with slave girls that were taken captive in the wars Muhammad ordered (33:50).
Any person who tells Christians they should embrace the Koran is either ignorant of the evil the Koran teaches, or is evil themselves and trying to get Christians to abandon Jesus, who the Koran says is not the Son of God.
Islam is evil and Allah is not the true God of the Bible.
Wake up and smell the jihad.

thats wrong...only the Bible should be used...and i cant believe the Christians are actually believing this. there may be some things in the koran that are good for us...but the Bible is the guide to life! i dont know what political correctness is...but i know that faith-wise it is not correct. people in politics could do whatever they want with the koran i dont care....and i dont care about the pope...im not catholic...wat does the pope do??? nothing really except for what we Christians already do..give to the poor...wow wat a nice thing from the pope *sarcasm* we do that...but you dont see any Christians on TV for it do u? the pope isnt the president so he doesn't change the rules...the pope can declare anything he wants...but that doesn't make it right. people of other faiths would say their faith is not equal to others, that their faith is better or higher. Islam is not the same thing as Christian...i believe Islam is satan in disguise. he wants to attract all the Christians and bring them from the Bible and bring them to Islam where it seems similar to Christianity...but its totally different. i think it is just a religion, created by satan and his demons, that is disguised as something equal to Christianity, except less rules and things....the rules in Christianity are for your life! don't just throw them away...because later on when you think you should be sitting on a gold chair in Heaven...satan will be laughing in your face while your crying! the koran wasn't inspired by God but instead inspired by satan himself.

No, Unfortunately... you can't have it both ways.
Christianity claims Jesus was "God With Us" (in the flesh) and that is the center around which the Christian faith (and the Bible) are written.
***John 8:58 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" ("I AM" is the name God gave for Himself to Moses, in Exodus 3:14 - God said to Moses, "~I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: '~I am has sent me to you.'" )***
Confessing Jesus is the "Son of God" (God in the Flesh) is essential to salvation: (see 1 John 4:15; Acts 8:37; 1 John 5:5, 10, 12, 13). Read the whole book of 1st John & John in the Bible)
ALL OTHER FAITHS claim Jesus was just a man, or that he was just a prophet (not the "Son of God", or God incarnate). The Islam faith cannot claim the Koran is inspired by God & at the same time dismiss Jesus as God.
***Since the 2 conflict on WHO GOD IS, they cannot both be true. In the Bible, Jesus claims he was "I Am" (God), not a prophet of God.***

Hmmmm ... could this be the start of the one world religion?
The Koran claims to be inspired by God but it's not the Christian God. Allah and Jesus are 2 very different Gods and the bible and Koran are 2 very different books.

As a Christian, the Koran should not be embraced! Peace among all people no matter which religion you choose to follow I believe is the message.

It's PC. The koran was inspired by Mohammed not by God. We should not embrace the Koran.

Absolutely! Why do some here say no? My bet is that most Christians have never read the Holy Qur'an, yet they say "no" when they have no knowledge of it. Trust me, reading the slandering here in R&S is not reading the Qur'an.
Why be afraid to learn about another religion? It is not a sin to do so. Detatch yourselves from EVERYTHING in heaven and on Earth. Detatch yourselves from everything except for God. Cling to God, and ask for His guidance. Seek, read, and be OPEN to God, even if He guides you to something that you never ever thought He would. If something doesn't make sense to YOU, doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. It just means you're unable to wrap your mind around it, that's all.
Why be so afraid to read the Qur'an? Are you afraid that you will actually AGREE with what it says? If so, test it, there's only one way to find out. If you wind up agreeing, there is nothing wrong with that.
Here, read this entire website. Yes, the entire site. It's not huge, not a daunting task to read it. It will show you things about the Qur'an you may never have thought possible:
http://www.islam-guide.com
You can order a book of the entire site, so that you don't have to be stuck at the pc to read it. It's a thin book, so you can easily take it anywhere.
Before saying "no" to ANYTHING, learn about it first. Make an EDUCATED decision, not a decision that is a knee-jerk reaction to:
1) fear
2) assumptions
3) prejudice
4) tradition
OPEN YOUR MINDS.

The bible was inspired by God. No other book or belief is endorsed by the bible. Political correctness has crept into the church. Believe God and obey Him.
