The Qur'an affirms Paul & Paul condemns Muhammad

There is no verse in the Qur'an that implies that the previous scriptures (The Torah, Psalms, & Gospel), have been corrupted.  Yet Muslims say it's corrupted because the Qur'an delivers a completely different message than that which is given by the Torah and Gospel.  So who do they blame for corruption?  Well they can't blame the Disciples of Jesus because the Qur'an confirms the Disciples, so they decide to blame the Apostle Paul.  In their minds, this can be done because Paul was not one of the original Disciples of Christ, and he had strong influence over the early church.  Yet, when Muslims attack Paul, they have a problem, because they're attacking both the Qur'an and classic Muslim scholars.  

Surah 61:14-"O you who have believed, be supporters of Allah, as when Jesus, the son of Mary, said to the disciples, "Who are my supporters for Allah ?" The disciples said, "We are supporters of Allah ." And a faction of the Children of Israel believed and a faction disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became dominant."

Muslim scholar Yusef Ali stated that these verse refers to Allah aiding the Christians until they permeated the Roman Empire.  Yet these Christians that permeated the Roman Empire were what Muslims when refer to as "Pauline Christians," Christians who accepted Paul's message that Jesus was divine in nature.  This means that God gave his stamp of approval on the message preached by the Apostle Paul.  This is further reinforced by Muslim scholar Abu Abdullah al-Qurtubi who stated in his commentary about Surah 61:14 that "It was said that this verse was revealed about the Apostles of Jesus, may peace and blessings be upon him.  Ibn Ishaq stated that of the Apostles and Disciples that send to preach there were Peter and Paul, who went to Rome.  So these classical scholars are saying that Allah approved Paul's message and that Paul was sent by Jesus to preach in Rome.  


Many Classical Muslim commentators, unlike the ones today, confirm Paul because they based their views on the Qur'an, which stated in Surah 3:3-4, 3:55, & 61:14, that Allah sent the Gospel as a guidance to mankind and would protect its message.  So to accuse Paul of corrupting the Gospel contradicts the Qur'an and insults Allah.  Thus Muslims today who accuse Paul of corrupting the Gospel are not only contradicting the Qur'an, they're actually making Paul greater than their God, because Allah did not have the power to stop one man from corrupting his message.  

Now it's very clear that Muhammad delivered statements about Jesus that directly contradicts the Gospel (which the Qur'an assures us is authentic).  So what did Paul say about those who might deliver a Gospel message that is different from the one given by him and the Disciples of Christ?  The answer is found in Galatians 1:8-9: “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!"   Thus according to the Apostle Paul, which the Qur'an confirms and the classical Muslims scholars verify as authentic, Muhammad is under God's curse.
