<< The Qur'an does mention the Bible sparingly, but you are misapplying some
 verses in the Qur'an, because you apparently have the mistaken notion that
 the word "scriptures" must always refer to the Bible. >>

THEO:
In the verse that I quoted, it refers to the scriptures that are "with" the 
Jews and Christians.  We have two possibilities here.  1.)  The Qur'an is 
making here a cryptic statement about some writings the Jews and Christians 
had that nobody knows about today.  2.)  The Qur'an is speaking of the Jewish 
and Christian Scriptures as they were in the 7th century.
I see no evidence for the first statement being true.
