How does Islam see the Torah?

The Torah and the teachings of moses are not the same thing. This is a translation misunderstanding, that gets really complicated and confusing. I'll try and summarise this as best I can. If you bother to go back read the original 1611 KJB and earlier the word"Jew does not appear." in any of the manuscripts. In the time of Jesus/Isa nobody was called 'Jew" anywhere. The "Jews of today" are, in fact, the pharassies/idumeans.

The term originated in the late eighteenth century as an abbreviation of the term Judean, and refers to a resident of Judea without regard to race or religion.

By the time of Jesus the word Edom or Edomite had been translated by Greek and Latin into Ioudaios and Iudaeus meaning a Judean or person living in Judea. The original King James version of the Bible, 1611, translated Idumaean-Judean into Iewes. It's not until the much later 'revised editions' that the word Jew appeared.Note that during this time the printing press became completely controlled by 'a well funded group.

This is where all of the confusion in the modern day christianity comes from. This confusion, unfortunately, carries through between translations of the Quran to English.

Now if you go back further Anceint Arabic/Syrian/Egyptians sources confirm Hebrews where white (sort of an ancient form of white), and scattered around the region, and even found amongst the romans. from their things get really, really complicated in History. I'll skip over the details, but essentially ancient whites (not like Arayns) are the tribes of Israel. Isa called them sheep, because well, sheep are white have curly hair, and ect ect. Now the Idumeans were also white but through Easu 'hence why they tell isa they were never in bondage.'

Fast forward to the time of Mohhamed, and things get really confusing. You have Hebrews who are white,Christians who are white, and also some of the Jews are white. This is why the Quran is so contradictory between the three of them. Once you understand that A-Hebrews-Christian-and Jews were all the same ethnic group at the time..things become clearer.
