Also those religions are based on legality. The bible does say that a believer should not be unequally yolked to an unbeliever. For example, if you marry someone that has a different belief system than you do, it will be a very tough relationship, because the couples involved would have way too many disagreements. Just an example BTW. What i see in the bible are often warnings, and even though they may at times hurt our feelings or put us off, we need to weigh them out for what they are. I mean we have to follow similar rules in society, so then why not also consider opinions that may diverge from our own in the bible? There is a multitude of people who have yet to crack a bible open, but due to popular opinion, they play follow the leader. Just look at many of the people that opposed Obama just because someone said that he was a horrible President.

What about what the Koran says?

I don't know the Koran, and have yet to form an opinion on the religion. However, what does the Koran have to do with Judaism, Christianity, or Catholicism? What's with the encroachment? Things written in the bible were not written in express purpose to correlate with Islam or it's beliefs. This isn't to insult one, or place one above the other, but it is more of a general statement that serves to highlight the differences in both belief systems. The bible says not to be unequally yolked to non believers. There is a reason for this. Neither side would ever agree on much until they either left their own system of belief, or that both simply stopped believing altogether. This is also how denomination began in the churches themselves. Key words* Systems of belief. Do you want to explore the differences between different belief systems? I don't get it?

The Koran is another book just like the bible.

It has nothing to do with the OP though. The Koran did not canonize biblical verses. It has no place here. For instance their Shaitan, and god could be originated from two entirely different educational entities or sources. So yeah Islam really has no place here. The Koran is not of bible canon.
