ADNAN
I think he is trying to say that the Qur'an in some places claims it
confirms the Bible, but in other places it contradicts the Bible. Since it
is impossible to confirm and contradict at the same time, the Qur'an cannot
be the word of God. Some Christians can construct this argument much better
than Theo.  For example, they can quote:

"Those who follow the Messenger (Mohammed), the Prophet who can neither
read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel
(which are) with them." 7:157. 

"And when there cometh unto them (Jews) a Scripture (the Qur'an) from
Allah, confirming that in their possession." 2:89

There is a problem here, but Muslims can rationalize it by claiming that
verses like these do not say everything in the modern Bible is true.  For
Muslims anything in the Bible that contradicts the Qur'an is false. To
justify this theory they cite verses that I earlier posted. 

By the way, since the NT contradicts the OT, I wonder why Theo does not use
the same reasoning to reject the NT.
