The Koran charges people of failing to follow the Book, but it pays tribute to the Book (The Bible). So 600 odd years after Christ, Muhammad decides He is better, proclaiming over Jesus attacking God's previous annoucements. Whereas the Bible holds no contradictions, the Koran is riddled with them. If Muhammad recognized Jesus as a true prophet of God, how can he claim His word is NOT truth? Copies of the Bible We NOW Have
