Some of you know well the content of the Bible and there is no intention here to second-guess that but it seems it should be obvious to everyone a great many people quote the Bible or impressions about it without having much apparent knowledge of its content.
Here's a relatively-limited resource with a bit more background about making the video. Friendly Atheist: These Pranksters Read Bible Passages to People, Telling Them It Was the Qur’an; They Were Shocked
Calling them 'pranksters' trivializes the statement for no good reason. From here at the Rockhouse, we see a well-executed video satire which is much more than a simple giggle.
One of the most telling parts of the video was a black guy who said, 'I try not to be prejudiced in my thinking but I see now I have been.'
Would that a whole lot of people come to that same realization.

The Bible. The Koran. Both are like statistics. Both can be used to support any point of view one wishes to take.
But if both are taken as a complete body if work they both become clear. And if any followers of any religon actually follow the entire body of work rather than singular passages WOW it would be a cool world.
As I believe they all have the same ideals
The thing I got some it was the preconceptions about the other guy's religion and that goes to exactly what you have said. A whole lot of the Quran came from the Bible which came from the Torah which came from who knows where but, as you say, all offer essentially the same thing.
