Sure, if you strain to ignore that parts where Osama believes Jesus was born of a virgin, hung on a cross, and appointed to judge the quick and the dead, the Genesis story is much the same, so is the flood, Jericho, etc., etc.
So you're NOT a creationist? Welcome to acceptance of evolution!
I'll just quote an old post of mine

Evolution doesn't explain how life came to exist....

His death was needed in order for us to live, just like the food you eat needs to die in order for you to live.
Read Leviticus 16, the origin of the term scapegoat. A priest symbolically lays the peoples' sins upon it and then sends it away. Replace priest with god and the goat with Jesus and it's the same story.
Does the animal have a choice?
