I believe Mohammed was illiterate.
FATWA!
Seriously, how can a Koran be older than Muhammed, if Muhammed is the author?
What is it with those idiots holding that book like a splatter shield with their mouths held open, are they hoping to attract Mister Horse? Even dung flies ain’t goin’ in there!
Christians who speak Arabic use the word "Allah" when referring to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

So....we agree? Islamists’ god is not God.
Even in teh time of Paul heresies had appeared. It is to be supposed that some of the heretics’ leaders were educated men and wrote a book.
It would still be wrong, and full of errors and have nothing to do with Christian theology or history.

World’s Oldest Quran Supports Claim That Muhammad Changed Text Already in Existence
There are claims that these could be fragments from the very first complete version of the Koran, commissioned by Abu Bakr, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad - and that it is “the most important discovery ever for the Muslim world”.
Jamal bin Huwareib, managing director of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation, an education foundation set up by the ruler of the UAE, says the evidence points to an even more remarkable conclusion.
He believes the manuscript in Birmingham is part of the first comprehensive written version of the Koran assembled by Abu Bakr, the Muslim caliph who ruled between 632 and 634.
But don’t expect any end to the arguments over this ancient document.
