Is it blasphemy for a Christian to study Holy Books other than the Bible? Is the same true for Muslims?

and the Quran?

Christians are admonished in a letter from Paul to Jude, I believe it was, to "keep searching and see if these things are true." Christians aren't taught blind faith by their Bible. I would say that since Paul himself was a scholar and Jesus spent a great deal of time studying in the Synagogues (and got to the point that he was asking questions the Rabbis who had studied all their lives were having trouble with), their Bible sets a precedent for careful individual study. I know Paul used his knowledge of other religions and cultures to his advantage in his own preaching work.

Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, as was Buddha. Why would they have a problem with anyone in their religion studying other prophetic works? As a matter of fact, Muslim people are usually so well-educated traditionally that during the Dark and Middle Ages, science and mathematics was kept alive only in the Middle East. Greek scholars like Pathagorus would go to the Middle East or Egypt and then return with all sorts of 'new ideas' they read about there. Then our society credited Greeks with a lot of the knowledge we have built our understandings of Math and Science on, even though it is older than their civilization by far, and was preserved and even improved upon by the people who later became the Middle Eastern Muslims we are so familiar with today. Some of the finest Universities in the Ancient World were created and maintained by Muslim people, and that tradition is continuing today, with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and a few other countries there having a high concentration of extremely advanced Universities.

Reading a sin? Nope, not for either of the groups you mentioned, no matter the subject matter.
