Muslims do a lot of appropriating

I agree with you on the point that muslims/arabs take credit for a lot of things they had nothing to do with inventing. The biggest hijacking I can think of is the way Mohammed plagiarized the bible, tossed it out and claimed that the koran is the truth. It's such a blantant corruption. God spoke to men in different ways and inspired them to write down "HIS" words that we now call the bible.What a coincidence that Mohammed got his inspiration for the koran in the same way. But what I find most appalling is that Mohammed stole his ideas from the bible and then tossed the bible out like it was a book of superstitions and claimed that the koran is the truth. This set up is too ridiculous for description. Now we have millions of violent fanatics following this madness to the death.
