text: how much of the koram (book of islam) is common to the bible? is there a passage or similar, "vengence is mine sayeth the lord" in the koram? (am i spelling that right?)  please research this for the correct answer because my opinion of islam is crucial to this text. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/vengeance i find these words a few lines down,   "some christians interpret paul's "vengeance is mine; i will repay, saith the lord" (romans 12:19, king james version) to mean that only god has the moral right to exact revenge."  it looks like the qur'an shares more with the old testament, that the western world is more familiar with.
