FACT: IT CAME INTO EXISTENCE CENTURIES AFTER THE BIBLE AND TORA. People who believe in it seem to think a counterfeit comes before the original. Islamic believers cannot validate the claim that the Bible is the counterfeit because the Bible's existence preceded the Qur'aan.
FACT: THE QUR'AAN TESTIFIES ABOUT ONE TRUE GOD (ALLAH) AND HIS PROPHETS. These truths were in the Bible and Torah long before the Qur'aan. This fact reveals that the Qur'aan is not the first writtings about God and his prophets and suggests that the Qur'aan is not authentic but a forgery.
FACT: IT WAS WRITTEN BY THE ASSOCIATES OF MUHAMMAD (pbuh). Muhammad could not read nor write. Therefore, Muhammad could not verify the validity of the holy book.
FACT: THE QUR'AAN's EXISTENCE WAS AFTER THE TECHNOLOGY OF WRITTING WAS INVENTED. Believer's of the Qur'aan and Islam think the errors in the Bible prove it is not the Word of Allah. Nothing is further from the truth. The technology of writing didn't exist in the

time when stories of salvation history were unfolding. So, naturally there are errors since the oral tradition existed before the invention of writing.

I have read the Koran, and it sounds like what it is:
the deranged meanderings of a sick mind that couldn't tell if it was hearing from God or from Satan. Muhammad mumbles his way through book after book in such a disorganized, nonsensical, repetitive fashion that nothing short of slavish fear could make anyone wish to devote a lifetime to its study.
You will find a threat of hellfire and the hatred that Allah has for all sinners of any kind dripping from nearly every page of the Koran. Additionally, you will find that he plaigerized many contemporaneous religious works, right down to and including poor grammar, spelling mistakes and mistranslations. Whatever else he may have been, Muhammad was neither original nor eloquent.

First of all, I believe that all religious texts are man made, and are not from god. I don't think that god even influenced either one of these texts.
To answer your question, I believe that the Quran has technology in it that came from wise men, such as what a developed human fetus looked like, and the mixture of salt and fresh water in estuaries. I believe that any word that comes from wise, knowledgeable men in the era before any formed human rights is good.
In comparison between the Bible and the Quran both do provide good human rights practices, which does help bring about change with human rights in society.

I think the Bible have much more contradictions and errors than Koran. (OT vs OT, OT vs Gospels, Genesis vs Acts, Gospel vs Gospel, Paul vs James, etc). I could give you some examples via email.

Actually, the Quran is false. The Bible is the inspired word of God, and the Bible is the only Book that tells of savior that died for peoples sins, and rose from the dead three days later. The Quran is a book full of lies.

The Qur'an has far fewer errors than the bible, but is not nearly as interesting to read: too much repetition. Unfortunately, the errors that it does have are extremely serious, and are the bane of any modern Islamic society.

I don't think that they were inspired/written by the same person. The Bible of the Jews/Christians was inspired by the one true God.

This sort of religious fanaticism is a stumbling block to human progress. Bible is fiction, Koran is fiction, and so is every other sacred book out there. If anything one can learn a bit of history from them, and perhaps squeeze some juice out of them, and then throw them into the toilet.

The bible is tainted, corrupted and been rewritten millions of times, therefore it has lost all credibility. The quran is Allah's words and is protected by Allah , it has never been rewritten or tainted or corrupted. The quran is the only book to be believed.

Since it denies Jesus is the son of God who died on a cross, rose again and is the only way to salvation, I believe it is f-a-l-s-e.

I think the Quran is inferior to the Bible.
