I have a question for the Islamic scholars.

There are several places in the Koran which claim that the Torah is a divine
revelation from God.  It even goes so far as to say that Jesus confirmed that
the Torah is the work of God.  At least two of these references are found
in the House of Iman.

Now, here is my question.  Do Islamic people agree with the Koran and accept
the Torah word for word?  For example, if there is a story in the Torah
which is not in the Koran, would Islamic people believe it?  And further, what
do Islamic people have to say when the Torah contradicts the Koran?

Thanks,

Elizabeth
