Lots of books meet that criteria. Satanists believe that "The Satanic Bible" was inspired by Satan. Mormons believe that "The Book of Mormon" was inspired by God. In fact, I am sure that virtually all non-muslim religions have holy books which they believe were inspired by God, Satan, or some other supernatural being. What is it about the bible which makes it more offensive than all those other religious texts?
Let's consider just two books, the Bible and "The Satanic Bible". You say that the Bible contains parts that you agree with, and other parts that you disagree with. Furthermore, you say that the parts you agree with make it a worthwhile book for you to own.
How about "The Satanic Bible"? Are there parts in that book which agree with Islam? And, if so, can you quote some of those passages for us?
Logically, if you consider the Bible to be more offensive than "The Satanic Bible", then you must consider "The Satanic Bible" to be more consistent with Islam than the Bible. Correct?
Likewise, since you consider the Bible to be more offensive than "The Book of Mormon", then you must consider "The Book of Mormon" to be more consistent with Islam than the Bible. Also correct?
