Fragments of the oldest Koran in existence, which were discovered at a British university library, could be from the original copy of the Muslim holy book.
Leading academic Jamal bin Huwareib believes the pages found at Birmingham University earlier this year are from the first assembled Koran by the Prophet Muhammad's close friend Abu Bakr.
The pages, thought to be between 1,448 and 1,371 years old, were discovered bound within the pages of another Koran from the late seventh century at the university's library.

Burn it. Not a holy book, just documentation of the worst mankind can do. Evil, pure and simple.
This article said fragments may pre-date Muhammed.
If proven, would seem to disprove their religion?
Or at least everything they thought they knew about it...
Muhammed himself was illiterate. Others wrote down the actual Koran supposedly for him. But it’s believed by Muslims to be word for word inspired by Allah.
Oh, and Merry Christmas!
Yeah if the Koran predate Mo-HAM-med then he was a plagiarist not a prophet.
I want to know how much was edited by L. Ron Hubbard?
I agree with the others: keep it, because the facts about this manuscript may not agree with the doctrine!
The original text of the greatest evil ever foisted upon mankind belongs in Satan’s scrapbook. He is its real author.
Eff’ the Koran..... Seriously
That’s why science should get to look at it. Science has mostly been kind to bible manuscripts. This, however, could well turn out to be, like it says above, some myth that was back-fit to a later Mohammed. That will screw with the narrative big time.
If you burn it, you would be doing what any pious Muslim would do.
Burn it in public.
Treat it like they treated the great library of Alexandria...
wonder if it is soft enough to wipe with.
I thought I had the oldest koran the other day, at least it smelled like it!
Burn it.
I’ve tried reading the Koran. What an impenetrable, boring, steaming pile of gibberish. What isn’t meaningless is evil.
The Koran and Mein Kampf are xenophobic hate trash.
Great definition of the Koran. The Koran is documented directions for evil.
World’s oldest Korean may predate Mad Mo?
page 34:
do not behead anyone, ever.
page 45:
women are the basis of society; never treat them like dogs and always allow their beauty to shine without covers!
Probably NOT a good idea to make this public, as every murderous muzzie wacko will be coming to take it back. Expect violence, threats, chaos, destruction, mayhem and murder to follow.
That makes him Mad Mo father in law...
Just for historic perspective...
