Here is what all who want to defend Islam by comparing the Quran to the Old Testament do not know:
- The Old Testament is the jewish scripture which is, it is true, the foundation for the Christian scriptures (the ten commandments) which is the New Testament. But the Old Testament lays the ground work for a Savior to come and transform the kingdom of God to one of love and peace --Jesus did that.
- Islam cannot (it is impossible to) change from its character of hate and murder. Why? Because the Quran is clear that there are no prophets AFTER Mohammed. He was the last and perfect revelation. So even IF Islam wanted to change, it cannot, because there is no wiggle room in their religion for another revelation other than the Quran. Judaism blossomed into Christianity. Islam is permanently set; there can be no evolving; there can be no further revelation.
The above being true, there is no co-existence possible between Islam and Christianity.
The difference between the Quran and the Bible when it comes to Jesus is that the Quran calls Him a prophet and says that when He returns He will kill all the Jews and break to pieces all the crosses. The Bible on the other hand insists that Jesus is Almighty God.
Islam is the natural enemy of Christianity and the Bible, to say nothing of the world at large.
What confuses people concerning Islam is that the Muslims we know personally are not Quran believing Muslims (they are Muslims in name only) and are in just as much danger from true Muslims as we are. Most people who "call" themselves Christians know next to nothing about the Bible; just so, most people who profess Islam know next to nothing about the Quran.
However, when the nominal Christian becomes religious and turns to their holy book they are taught to be forgiving and to love, even their enemies, etc. When the nominal Muslim gets religious and turns to their holy book they are taught to kill all Jews and kill or subjugate all of humanity that will not accept their religion.
The world must wake up to this danger. All true Muslims are radical jihadists. A Muslim who is not a radical jihadist is not Muslim.
Persons calling themselves Christians does not make it so; a Christian's life must line up with the New Testament.
Likewise: persons calling themselves Muslims does not make it so; a Muslim's life must line up with the Quran.
At some point in the not too distant future the world will have to decide which holy book is conducive to its peace.
