Yes it is, quite likely in fact, just as it is with the bible.

I don't believe in miracles. I believe in human nature, both good and bad.

I see a section accusing the Christians of having distortions over time in their Bible, and I see a section arguing that the Korans around today are the same despite language differences, but I don't see any proof (nor can there be) that the words that were "remembered" were remembered correctly and not modified to suit the needs of the people using them at the time, and human nature dictates that this is more than likely what would've happened.

I have no problem with anyone following any religion they like, but people that wish to discuss religion should be open to everyone else's point of view as well, and mine happens to be that it is very unlikely that there is any religious writing that has existed for a substantial amount of time that has not been modified in the years close to the inception of these religions to suit their needs. Quite obviously after the religion becomes widespread this is no longer possible without distinctly different "strains" of the religion to occur, as one group can not control what other groups "remember" or write, but I'd strongly suggest that in the early days of ALL religions things would have been wacked around to suit the needs of the power-merchants of the time.

And further to that, even when the actual "words" do become stable, interpretation of those words then becomes the tool instead, and that is seen in a very large way in both the Christian and Muslim faiths. What is "evil" to one group following a religion, is perfectly alright to another group following the very same religious tomes. It's all about what suits the people in power. That is why I don't trust the leaders of ANY religion that commands power and "followers", they ALL have been and in many cases are being used by unscrupulous people to get what they want.
