Correct ... that statement and that specific word that you have refered to in your last 3 posts ....

... are you now contending that it is correct, that EVERY language, even those with no writing, contains A word whose meaning is the misrepresenting of someone else's intellectual property as your own ?

YOUR link and example ( assuming they are correct ) clearly show that in Arabic it takes at least 5 words to translate it -



Your ProfitofDoom is making a specific statement here -

"Every language has a word for demon, god, mad, and plagiarize."

are you attempting to re-write his sentance as something like -

" Every language can express the concept of a demon, god, mad, and plagiarism. "
-

in order for it to have the meaning that you assign to it ?

Here’s the bottom line: Arabic, especially in written form, is a recent phenomenon linguistically. Not only wasn’t it one of man’s earliest languages, it was derived from a language that predated it by 3,000 years. There is no evidence that written Arabic existed in Mecca when the Qur’an was handed down. Therefore, it couldn’t have been the language of Allah if, as the Qur’an and Hadith attest, written scrolls were given to Adam, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus prior to the time written Arabic was conceived. And that would make Allah a liar and the Qur’an a fraud.
