And the (Christian) Bible came after the Talmud, which came after the Tamakh, which came after the Torah, and so on and so on...

Most religions borrow heavily from the ones that came before. Noah's flood echoes the story of the flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Islam actually takes an interesting approach to other religious figures. They don't necessarily deny them, they more absorb them. If someone was truly holy, the must have been a prophet. In the Quran, many figures from the Jewish and Christian bibles are called out as prophets.
