Its because lots of people r unaware that the Bible contains the truth. Lots of people live in nations where its illegal 2 be anything else. Others r given no choice, either join or die while others r in such an oppressive environment that Islamic pressure seems like the best or only way out. Neither number of members, labels, titles or length of time that something existed means anything. Its the actions behind or attached to these things that counts. Even if man cant see through all false teachings & doctrines rest-assured God sees right down 2 every sub-atomic particle of your body & all your thoughts - u cant erase anything from birth 2 death.
Muslims make the mistake of believing the Bible has many errors or is rewritten, that the kooram is the [only] perfect holy book. The Bible is only full of errors if u dont accept Jesus as God's Son & if ur determined 2 make errors your focal point so that u can dismiss the Bible as the true word of God. God wil give u what ur looking 4 in your heart. Many r determined to dismiss God & will be given over 2 their hateful attitude & a hardened heart. U say the Qu'ran is perfect but I tell u it contains 1 of the most blatant errors of all -
The problem is theres many religions out there along with different varieties & offshoots. 1 day I realized they cant all be right (1 question came to mind - theres 1 Bible, why so many interpretations? - II Pet 1:**19-21). Most religions came thru people who thought up things for a God they & others liked. Some realized religion could be good 2 control the masses & for other agendas. But I found that religion, 4 the most part, wont teach you much about God (they cant teach what they dont know). Who knows more about a house He who built it or he who moves in later?
Yes, religions have made many mistakes (many fatal). However, do u think God is all knowing & therefore, would fully understand His purpose, including 4 Jesus Christ? Many miss this main point - Jesus is the only 1 in history whom said that He's "the" way, "the" truth & "the" life & NO 1 can get 2 God except thru Jesus (Jn 14:6 - ref Acts 4:12; Jn 5:39; 10:1,7). This means "the" truth was complete & there4 finished thru what Jesus taught & did or God doesn't know what He's doing & cant be God. The truth is either fully true or its a lie. The full truth cant contain a lie & is the absence of any lie.
There4, either Jesus is the only full truth or theres no actual truth & there4 no God (God would have 2 know what Jesus was going 2 say & do). This means Jesus is whom He says He is or He is just another false prophet among many, whom should be disregarded. If He's the actual truth then theres no need 4 any NEW teaching. This means any so-called new teaching & any other religious beliefs &/or from self-proclaimed prophets or teachers r invalid, null & void & serve no purpose 4 those seeking our real God.
***If Jesus came from God as His Son then the Qu'ran is wrong about Jesus. If Jesus Christ is wrong then both the Bible & the Qu'ran r wrong (Jesus is depicted as a good prophet, messenger &/or man in the Qu'ran). We cant have it both ways. Either Jesus is the Christ & Allah doesn't exist or both lie. If Jesus is whom He says He is then Muhammad, Joseph Smith, the Jahovah's Witnesses, Catholics, most Protestants, Ellen White, the moonies & others presenting other teachings & practices r the false prophets & teachers & should be disregarded. But I can assure u the truth is in the Bible (where Jesus was coming from in everything He did).
In fact, Jesus couldnt have done nor said all thats written in the New Testament unless He fully understood the entire Old Testament (the NT didnt exist while Jesus was on earth). Jesus couldnt have fully understood the entire OT unless He came from God. & the Apostles couldnt remember & write down all thats in the NT unless Jesus allowed them to remember & understand what He was here for (Lk 24:25-27,45). None of this could be possible unless an incredibly Intelligent Being made it happen.
But no matter how much many well-meaning people (religious or not) read the Bible they cant find Jesus Christ without going directly 2 Jesus thru His Biblical instructions (Jn 5:39; 10:1,7; 3:3,5). But God outsmarted man - the Bible is the only 1 that cant be properly understood without Jesus (Jn 14:6; II Cor 3:14 - If the Jewish people cant pierce the veil over the OT without Jesus then for sure all the gentiles cant). Thats why theres so many interpretations & why many think its all fairytales.
God hated Esau & cut him & his descendants off from the land of the living (Abraham & his descendants). In other words when God cuts u off physically ur also cut off from understanding what is given 2 God's children (what is claimed as from Abraham in the Qu'ran isnt in & nor coming from God's true Biblical message - the God of Israel says not 2 go beyond what is written in the Bible). God did things in the past 2 prepare 4 what was coming - the New Covenant thru Jesus 2 give the choice 2 individuals 2 accept or reject His Son & His teaching.
Only those who turn 2 Jesus with all their heart & soul will understand why the sun wasnt needed to keep plants alive be4 God lit the sun on the 4th day, the day time as measured from earth began. Lev 11 is about "winged" insects not fowl - many insects (not all) generally stand on 4 legs (firm support) while using 2 2 eat, grab, feel & test things around them. Many things in the Bible appear on the surface 2 be contradictory but when taken in proper context with the whole Bible r not contradictions at all.
Anyone still want to follow religions &/or Muhammad & others, whom didnt know nor understand whom Jesus actually is? If u want 2 know the actual full truth - Whoever seeks Jesus Christ, the Son of God, with all his heart & soul will find our real God & His Kingdom (u shall know the truth & it will set u free). But this saying is true - u can lead a horse 2 water but u cant make them drink.
After all, why should God want someone to live with Him forever if they dont want 2 know Him (reason 4 free will)? The truth of God remains forever while things of a man dies with him, including his religions & his gods, created in his image. On 1 hand, God hates us because of our sins - neither being a good person as judged by men or religion can save u. On the other hand, God loves us dearly enough 2 send His Son 2 die for our sins - so that thru Jesus our sins could be forgiven if we sincerely turn 2 Him - Theres everlasting hope only in Jesus Christ.

2 all Muslims: Even if today preserved chiselled Qu'ran text bricks were found & dated 2 the Qu'ran's original writing proved 2 be a perfect copy of today's Qu'ran it wouldnt be anymore true than the 1rst official text. What Jesus taught came from the OT - the NT confirms the OT - the whole truth was from the beginning the same.
The Qu'ran doesnt contain the same truth of either the OT or NT (God preserved the truth by the same unchanged system in both the OT & NT - emphasis placed on not going beyond whats written (I Cor 4:6) - the whole truth is complete within its pages - Both God & Jesus never change) no matter what languages its translated 2. Nothing that teaches anything else is valid - see above **verses. 1 cant acknowledge the real Jesus Christ while teaching a different so-called truth or gospel. He who believes Jesus must disregard all other teachings as false b/c they r. The Qu'ran is false b/c it neither comes from nor teaches what came from Jesus.
Those that r wise get away from all religion & seek the 1 whom actually came from God.
