>And what does the Koran add to Judaism and Christianity?

Quite a few. To begin with it adds Arab Imperialism . It adds inferior status to different ethnicities who become Muslims. For example, in Pakistan the official hsitory is that, only after the islamic conquest by brute force one might add, Pakistanis are in "light" and before that they were in "darkness". Koran adds Jihad i.e. religious war which it makes it into a central position. It adds inferiority of women to men ( witness of 4 women is equal to hat one 1 man), it adds intolerance ,murder and gratutious violence ( prophet Mohammed had his critics assasinated) . Recently, it has added suicide as the highest islamic goal.
