How should Muslims view the Bible?

It is well-known that Muslims never published the Koran in the same multilingual way, for they held that it was not permissible to translate it into other languages; that would make the Koran did not spread to vast areas like the Bible- a Book that has gone throughout the world, making it virtually impossible to introduce any kind of change or alteration. How could there ever have been a conspiracy among widely divergent denominations in different parts of the world, regarding the alteration of the Book which commands believers to be faithful, honest and true? We read the following words of John in Revelation 22:18-19: "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city and from the things which are written in this book."
Who would have been willing to bring these curses upon himself by tampering with the Bible? The Jews, whose antagonism to Christianity is well-known, would have been the first to denounce Christians if they had falsified any parts of the Bible. Moreover, how could the millions of Christians down the centuries have accepted a false book? Thus, one can conclude that the words of the apostles and disciples of Christ are free from such defects as corruption, alteration, abrogation, forgery or falsehood.
