Answering Islam 3820

How the f*** am I supposed to know what was originally written by Muhummads followers in the Qur'an.

It was 1400 years ago, fool.

And by the way - do you?

And seeing he couldn't read or write, Muhummad probably didn't know what was written in it either - he just buttumed that his spoken word was written correctly.

And also the belief is there that the Qur'an was only written after Muhammads rest, so I'm sure he didn't proof read the thing anyway.

What I said was that it was human nature to embellish, and that maybee all religious text has been compromised overthe years.

Typical of you to take the comment as a detriment to Islam.

Do I detect some sort of religious inferiority complex creeping in?

Did you know that there are 2 versions (possibly 3) of the Qur'an for sale today, both have differences in their text.

Sort of proves a point, don't you think?

Here's an interesting line from the following site:

The Qur'an was an oral text throughout the lifetime of Muhammad; it was also a fluid text. The complete text resided only in the memories of Muahmmad and his followers. As he added verses and reorganized the text, his followers would rememorize the text in the light of the additions or edits. This means that the Qur'an was a living text during the lifetime of Muhammad. Certain verses revealed to Muhammad were later repudiated by him as "satanic" verses revealed not by Gabriel but by Satan. These verses were expunged from the text that so many had memorized.

Sounds like embellishment to me!

Hello - this site says the Qur'an was put into text through Muhammads life (a pretty lame example at that), yet the previous one said it wasn't.

That's called a contradiction.

Face it Two Dogs - there is no scientific proof to your theory - only faith that the Qur'an is in its original form.

Similar to the Shroud of Turin - you either believe it or you don't.

I suggest you do a little more research before you put your foot in your mouth in future.
