Roughly... Muslims transferred the Roman text from the fragile paypus onto paper. During this transfer it was translated into Arabic language. The text was altered somewhat to fit the Muslim religion and life styles. Years later the Muslims once again translated the text but this time into the languages spoken by the Anglo saxon Europeans whom have spread the knowledge to its current position in today's society.

Islam respects all cultures if not against the teachings of Islam. It does not want anybody who embraces Islam to change everything that he is practising.

Do Jews Christians and Muslims all hate each other?

Muslims do a pretty fair job of demonstrating hatred of non-Muslims. Jews do not hate Muslims yet, but Islam is working on that. Of course, this is not an indictment of all Muslims. It is only a minority that acts out its hate. But in terms of civilization and its survival, the peaceul majority are irrelevant.
