Doesn't the Dead Sea Scrolls prove Muhammad was lying when he said the Torah was changed and corrupted?

I apologize if I offended anyone with that question. Muhammad is venerated in Islam and there are some places where calling Muhammad a liar will get you thrown in jail or beheaded. I travel to Muslim countries quite often so I know. However, clearly the dead sea scrolls, if they are correctly dated, disproves a lot of what is written in the Quran.

Although the scrolls demonstrate that the Bible has not undergone fundamental changes, they also reveal that to some extent there were different versions of Hebrew Bible texts used by Jews in the Second Temple period, each with its own variations. Not all the scrolls are identical to the Masoretic text in spelling or wording. Some are closer to the GreekSeptuagint.This may explain some cases in which early Christians quoted Hebrew Scripture texts using wording different from the Masoretic text.
So Muhammed was mistaken, but his view is only another claim of hate towards another religion, even though the Quran has many Bible scriptures in and it follows a similar pattern to Jewish beliefs, for example, the abstinence of pork.
Sorry bit long, but interesting question!
