I came across this statement today:

“It should be clear now that to compare the Bible to the Qur'an is irrelevant because while the Bible is the foundation of Christianity, the Qur'an is not the foundation of Islam, rather Islam is founded on the Qur'an, Hadith and Sira. If you want an honest and accurate comparison between the books of Christianity and Islam then you must compare the essential books of both religions.”

You can read the full article on why it is not relevant to compare the Quran and the Bible.

It is written by a Christian and I think it is an interesting concept and one well worth considering. It might get us beyond criticism to genuine critique and learning.
