You can just answer,
The three religions agree on one basic fact: Both women and men are created by God, The Creator of the whole universe.
However, disagreement starts soon after the creation of the first man, Adam, and the first woman, Eve. The Judaeo-Christian conception of the creation of Adam and Eve is narrated in detail in Genesis (2:4-24).
God prohibited both of them from eating the fruits of the forbidden tree. The serpent seduced Eve to eat from it and Eve, in turn, seduced Adam to eat with her.
When God rebuked Adam for what he did, he put all the blame on Eve,
"The woman you put here with me --she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it."(Genesis, 3: 12).
Consequently, God said to Eve:
"I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband and he will rule over you." (Genesis, 3: 16).
To Adam He said:
"Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree of which I forbideen you to eat, “ Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life..." (Genesis, 3: 17).
The Islamic conception of the first creation is found in several places in the Qur’an, for example:
"O Adam dwell with your wife in the Garden and enjoy as you wish but approach not this tree or you run into harm and transgression. Then Satan whispered to them in order to reveal to them their shame that was hidden from them and he said: 'Your Lord only forbade you this tree lest you become angels or such beings as live forever.' And he swore to them both that he was their sincere adviser. So by deceit he brought them to their fall: when they tasted the tree their shame became manifest to them and they began to sew together the leaves of the Garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: 'Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you that Satan was your avowed enemy?' They said: 'Our Lord we have wronged our own souls and if You forgive us not and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be lost' " (7:19:23).
A careful look into the two accounts of the story of the Creation reveals some essential differences.
The Qur’an, contrary to the Bible, places equal blame on both Adam and Eve for their mistake. Nowhere in the Qur’an can one find even the slightest hint that Eve tempted Adam to eat from the tree or even that she had eaten before him. Eve in the Qur’an is no temptress, no seducer, and no deceiver. Moreover, Eve is not to be blamed for the pains of childbearing. God, according to the Qur’an, punishes no one for another's faults. Both Adam and Eve committed a sin and then asked God for forgiveness and He forgave them both.

Both Adam and Eve are to blame for falling to the temptation of the forbidden fruit.
And while Allah forgave them for disobeying Him, He banished them from the Garden to dwell on Earth as mortal beings.

You got this wrong.
Eve is not punished more than Adam. Eve was the means God commanded to fill the earth with people. Her union with Adam was supposed to produce children for the perfect world that God had created. But, Eve rebelled against God. Since sin brings pain and suffering, it was a natural consequence that she have pain and suffering in the very thing for which she was brought forth because she had rebelled against God.
Adam was her "head." This is a biblical concept where the male head of the family represents the family. When Adam fell, he represented his descendents. Adam is punished too:
"Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree of which I forbideen you to eat, “ Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life..." (Genesis, 3: 17).

Your report is lopsided. Get the story right. The devil in the form of a snake tempted Eve and she fell. Adam was called by his wife and even though he knew better he also made the wrong choice.
When God talked with Adam he did what we all do - "passed the buck." When God spoke to Eve she did what we all do - "passed the buck."
Satan was at the end of the blame chain, but he didn't have anyone to pass the buck to because according to Christian scripture he is a liar and the father of all lies. That means all lies originated in him.
Adam and Eve were both guilty. Adam was even so bold as to accuse God -- "The woman You gave to be with me gave me of the fruit and I did eat." - Genesis 3:12 -
God meted out appropriate punishment to Adam and Eve because they were both guilty and deserved it. Just like both of them none of us can excuse our sin, and God will have the last say in judging us and rewarding us according to our thoughts, words, and deeds. Some will find eternal life in Christ and live at peace forever in the presence of God and the others will be eternally damned according to the same Bible you are quoting and spend eternity in a Lake of Fire.

Sounds like you are trying to use common Catholic Dogma in an attempt to discredit the Bible in favor of the Koran.
Nice try, but, you failed miserably.
Eve is punished only through the pain of child birth and through the desire to have a husband rule over her, as men in Islam rule over their families.
Adam however is punished by making every day a struggle to provide for himself and his family.
Adam was punished worse, although I understand how a woman who has gone through childbirth might think several hours of pain is worse than years of toil.
That said, Adam was with his wife when she listened to the serpent and accepted the fruit. He could have stopped her which is why Adam received more punishment.
Adam not only did not stop Eve, Adam blamed her.
I don't. I blame Adam for not having a pair.
If we start talking about the stories of Lilith, Adam really looks like a wimp.
As a Christian I can say that, but, Muslims revere Adam as a Prophet and think this p*ssy whipped guy is awesome and Eve is just an also ran.
Imagine thinking a pus*y whipped guy running around screaming "Oh no, I'm naked, someone give me a fig leaf!" is a prophet to be revered.
I am so glad I am a Christian, if I was a Muslim I would have to cut my own head off in misery for revering a wimp.

Interesting account! The question, however, is not whether or not the Koran is correct, but whether, as you have asked, it is Eve's fault. The bible does NOT implicate Eve, but Adam. Since Eve, as you point out, was deceived, she was in the transgression and not sin. The punishment she bore was for stepping ignorantly across the law since she was fooled. Adam, however, the Bible indicates was NOT deceived; hence he was guilty of deliberate sin, regardless of his attempts to pass the buck to Eve. Both were punished, since both violated the law. There is no indication of Eve being a "temptress" in the scripture; she is recorded as having merely "gave unto her husband who was with her, and he did eat."
Incidentally, the Koran shows a significant detail, which the bible attributes to Eve, not God: "...APPROACH NOT this tree..." In the instruction in the Bible, they are not to eat it; nothing was said of not going near it. Eve told the serpent that she was not to touch it, effectively adding to the word of instruction given her either by Adam, or else by God. On the basis of her perceived misunderstanding, the serpent was able to deceive her.
The older of these two accounts is Jewish tanakh; the Koran came much later, and in order for Muhammad to be believed in his assertion that the Jews and Christians changed the scripture and that the Koran ought to be the correct copy, he should have produced an original copy free from error. It is a demonstrable fact, however, that he borrrowed verbatim from the targum, the talmud, and several other perverted copies of the scripture. The proof of this lies in word for word copying which includes misspellings and grammatical errors in the originals.
Whether the Koran places equal blame on them or not, what they did was not a "mistake" as you put it; Eve transgressed, and Adam sinned.

relatively the Bible says that that's Eve's fault that ladies human beings have sessions and discomfort in baby delivery. in case you have discomfort during intercourse then you could seek for suggestion from a doctor. something could be incorrect. besides no that's no longer all Eve's fault. that's Adam's(PBUH*) fault to boot extra Adam's(PBUH*) fault then Eve's as a results of fact Adam(PBUH*) replaced into meant to confirm Eve did no longer consume the apple and shelter her. as a results of fact of their sin Adam(PBUH*) and Eve have been kicked out of Jinnah(Heaven) and sent right down to Earth yet they repented and Adam(PBUH*) became the 1st Prophet in Islam and in the international. women genuinely everyone isn't cursed in childbirth or menstruation. that's wholesome.

I don't blame anyone. God manifested himself in the flesh. He walked here on earth, felt what it was like to be human. Gave us some scriptures. I am Cristian and read my bible. It has been translated over and over by humans. There has been room for error in biblical translations. If he hadn't died himself through Jesus I'd probably be really doubtful about God. Think about it... The way he died was really, really, painful. We should be able to breeze through life after that example.

it was Eve's fault that she disobeyed, it was Adam's fault he disobeyed. mankind brought it upon itself for both genders.
Eve got the childbirth pain punishment, Adam had to sweat to live. Adam is blamed for thorns, Eve is to submit to Adam. same amount of punishment.
you don't know as much about the Bible as you think. actually try and make an effort to understand

Satan the Devil is to Blame because he decieved Eve.. The Bible says Eve was decieved but Adam was not. ALL THREE of them were to blame.

It is one of the most repugnant aspects of the Jewish religion and its sub-cults Christianity and Islam. The fact that they use a silly myth about an apple and a snake to subjugate woman. And then have the audacity to tell them its for there own good.
