Let's see it

The new testament is much more advanced than the old testament
Why ?
The old testament has been written in wild years
The new testament in the highly civilized ( relatively speaking of course )roman empire

The Coran is more advanced than the Bible
( People confuse terrorism with Islamic religion )
Why
Middle east was at the top of the civilization in the middle age much more advanced than European countries

In other words : " Your heart, your religion "

Having said that claiming that Islam has been a defensor of Science ...well

If I am not wrong the famous Alexandria library has been destroyed by a Califf
Claiming :

" If these books dont agree with Coran than they are dangerous
If they agree than they are useless
Thus burn them "
