we have, curiously, no critical edition of the Quran, its origins, its texts. The reason for this lack of investigation is, in Muslim terms, due to the nature of the text. It is said to come directly to Mohammed in Arabic. The Quran was not compiled for at least a hundred years after Mohammed’s death. Earlier versions of it seem to have been destroyed. Still, critically to examine the Quran is considered to be blasphemous. It implies human judgment on an unchangeable divine text.

Anyone who wants to make a thorough study of the Koran must have a background in the Syro-Aramaic grammar and literature of that period, the 7th century. Only thus can he identify the original meaning of Arabic expressions whose semantic interpretation can be established definitively only by retranslating them into Syro-Aramaic."

Well, the Gospels weren’t compiled for some time after Jesus’ death, but that doesn’t make them not authentic.

Just looking at Mohammed’s life, which was nothing but war, stealth attacks, savagery and destruction, you can see that those parts of the Koran are perfectly faithful to the founder of the cult. Probably the only part that was added are the milder parts.
