    It is totally confusing. For example, in ‘Repentance’ [At-Tauba] 9: 29’ Quran lays down ‘how the believers (majority) should treat the minority (non-believers)’:

    “Fight those who not believe in Allah-and-the-Last-Day, —and do not forbid what Allah-and-his-messenger have forbidden— such men Practise not the religion of Truth, being of those who have been given ‘the Book’ [Jews & Christians] until they pay the required tribute [jaziya tax] with their own hands while they are in a state of subjection --and have been humiliated.” [brackets added]
    *
    So the question is: why did an illiterate prophet's followers write down 'the book' Koran, when his god (Allah) was so 'Anti-book' & anti- people of the Book, or "of those who have been given ‘the Book’ [Jews & Christians] ?

    It is totally ok for a Muslim to read the Bible to get more information about a prophet, but Muslims also believe that the Bible is currupt, so they have to be carefull when they read it.
