I agree that you have a valid concern but I'm not sure how far that
takes you. No matter if you wanted to substitute some synonyms here
and there, it seems pretty clear that the Bible is given some kind of
qualified/limited approval while the Quran is spoken of in different,
and higher terms.
If the Quran is picked apart by higher criticism then the distinction
between the Bible and the Quran would disappear, which clearly
violates the intention of the Guardian's words.
