I found a free copy of the Koran in a Little Library. I’ve flipped through it, reading parts. It’s boring.

Muslims try to say that the Quran can be shown to be divine because of its beauty—such beauty that could only come from God.

A Mormon made a similar argument to me. She read a passage to me from the Book of Mormon, then said that she found it to be so beautiful and holy that it convinced her the book must be divinely inspired.

I’ve been told that many English translations of the Koran have been sanitized, meaning that most of the harsh phrases have been replaced with gentler phrases.

II’s that’s really true, I wouldn’t be surprised.
