I learned from an exhibition on the Quran at the Smithsonian that Islam has no concept of Original Sin like Christianity does -I'd like for us to go into that in some detail.  That to me is its most fascinating aspect.

Yes we do not believe in original sin, we believe every person is born pure and from there your actions in life plus your faith determine your fate.

Are there any Quranic texts that flesh it (what you just said) out, so to speak?

Jews don’t believe in original sin either.

Really?  Doesn't the Tanakh also contain the Garden of Eden story? Christianity didn't just pick up the notion of Original Sin out of the ether.
