I am Muslim.
Christians read the Bible, more or less frequently. The clergy reads the Bible and the Popes read the Bible. If the Bible is a holy book, it should make its readers holy. This is the purpose of a holy book. Regular and continuous reading of the Bible ought to make one become holy. By holy, I mean the kind of man that the Church will point to saying this is a holy man, a holy Christian, a saint. The problem is, even the popes are not saints. This is no surprise because one can not possibly seriously consider the Bible to be true, this book that dates back 2000 years and claiming to be holy.
The only reason Muslims rely on the Holy Qur'an (the word of God revealed to Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family, not the word of Muhammad) is because the Qur'an stipulated from the beginning that this holy book would be forever protected from corruption. The only reason Muslims rely on the Holy Hadiths (the holy sayings of Muhammad) is because it was stipulated from the beginning that the life of Muhammad would be very well recorded, as he comes as the last prophet, the Seal of the prophets. That is why we have such many reliable and uncorrupted Hadiths available today.
