"But if you look at it, you will notice that every fifth sentence or so simply doesn't make sense....but the fact is that a fifth of the Koranic text is just incomprehensible. If the Koran is not comprehensible -- if it can't even be understood in Arabic -- then it's not translatable. And since the Koran claims repeatedly to be clear but obviously is not -- as even speakers of Arabic will tell you -- there is a contradiction. Something else must be going on."

Maybe when Mohammed was dictating the Koran, he must have said "some of the
Book of Revelations is pretty wild, and the Christians ate that up...hmmm, maybe
I'll just put some even more nonsensical camel doo in my book and make it a best-seller."
