The Torah is not the Qur'an


A Muslim aquaintance of mine told me that the Qur'an permits the consumption of shrimp and camel. The Torah prohibits its consumptions for Jews. Herein lies my question;

Muslims believe the Q'uran to be the rectification of an earlier corrupted form of the Torah.

This means that the Qur'an as it is today is identical to the uncorrupted form of Torah.

How do we explain the incongruency between the Torah's prohibition of shrimp and camel related to the Qur'an's permission of shrimp and camel?

We would have to assume that the "original Torah" permitted the consumption of shrimp and camel but that (unnamed Jews) added a stringency to prohibit it.

Corruption usually takes form in the addition of a leniency, not a stringency, so how should we understand the Torah's prohibition of shrimp and camel vs. the Qur'an's permission of shrimp and camel?

I am an observant (Orthodox) Jew -- if I "reverted" to Islam would I be allowed to eat shrimp and camel?

Peace...
