my bad... i mean does the muslims are allowed to read the christian bible?

Yes, all muslims are allowed to read it and be informed of what happens and is written in other religious communities.
In Islam, it is even recommended to obtain knowledge of all things, though reading and travelling.
If some people do not read it out of fear, that their faith will be somehow 'corrupted', I think these are the weak link.
If one is strong in their faith, then being put in a situation that challenges it-without loosing it- is the ultimate proof of their strength.

i'm a muslim and i've read bits of it - so the answer is yes. But i read it for an essay - so it wasn't really for any kind of religious enlightenment

I think no. Because in Christian bible it's not mention that it is bad to read the Koran.

I doubt most muslims have the desire to read the Bible

anyone can read anything they want. depending on which country they are in perhaps they should keep it secret. do you see what organized religion does?

No, because Islam can't read, it is a religion.

They are allowed to read or practise nothing except their only book. Even music is forbidden.

Only the parts that appeal to their beliefs.
Kinda like the Mormons and J.W.'s
