"Our religion" as in Islam?
I'll take my chances with the Bible and God/Christ.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 5:24
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
John 11:25
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live

A few years ago when they had the Million man march on T.V. , Louis Farrakhan was giving a speech and was quoting what sounded like Bible verses and I was perplexed because they sounded like scripture I read but never read. What he was doing was merging bits and pieces of Bible and Quran together into seamless sentences to say things they didn't say in the first place. Louis Farrakhan has his hands in many things, helping Michal Jackson out and temporarily being Obama's number one man during the election, he's one to watch out for. Anyone who tries to mesh the Bible with something else should not be trusted. And I would hope that Muslims would feel the same way about the Quran.
I would think if there are similarities you could post them and have us compare scripture to verses in the Quran. It would be better if we had access to a Quran gateway on the internet where we could do word searches and the such.

Why do you complain about the Quran being revealed in the Arabic language ?
When God made a Promise to Abraham, He said He would establish a Covenant with 'Isaac' and with 'Ishmael' He would make a Great Nation.
God sent many prophets and messengers, amongst them... Jacob, David, Moses, Solomon ... John the Baptist, Jesus (peace be upon them all). All these great prophets and messengers of God were sent to a very specific people, what you call the Jews.
Do Muslims complain about it ? Do anyone complain and say 'Why' only to jews were these great prophets sent? Why God revealed the Torah in the Hebrew language throughout Moses? Why was the Gospel revealed in the Aramaic language throughout Jesus ?
the Word of God, since it is from God ...don't you believe that we should do all we can to preserve it as it was revealed (in the original language) ? If you grasp only a sentence from God's revealed words, don't you believe that it has more value than any man made writings ? ...
When you translate something into another language, what happens ?
let's see, for exemple, let's say you take a Shakespeare poem and you translate it into Hebrew, can it still be called a Shakespeare poem ? ... No! definitely No!
Same thing with the 'Word of God' we believe it to be superior to any speaking creature. We can translate the content, there is no problem, but there is many things that we loose in the translation. And we should be very careful to not put the man-made translation of God's word and the original 'Word of God' on the same scale. When you translate the 'Word of God', it is the words of The Perfect One ... How can we, us, 'imperfect' humans Dare claim that a translation (written by our own 'imperfect' hands ) is equivalent to the original Words of The Perfect One ?

The gospels of Matthew and John was the first act of translation. Aramaic speakers wrote the original gospels in Greek so that all could read it. I have a Perfect One who can preserve His word through the process of translation and speak to us just as clearly.
The reason I asked is because of the urging to read the Quran, something that, in your view, I cannot do since I don't read Arabic.

What are you trying to prove with random quotes ?
Bible- Joshua ''They devoted the city to the LORD and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.''
Bible- Jesus ''Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. ''
Quran- .......... ?
The word "sword" appears over 200 times in the Bible - but even though the Arabic language has more than a dozen words for sword, there is not a single occurrence of any of these words anywhere in the Quran.
May God forgive us, and may He not held us accountable for intentionnaly perverting and corrupting the teachings that are to be found in these books.
May God humble us, and increase us in Guidance and Knowledge !
plz say: Ameeeen
