FATWA!

Seriously, how can a Koran be older than Muhammed, if Muhammed is the author?

The mohammedan conception of the deity is a demonically inspired perversion.

Christians who speak Arabic use the word "Allah" when referring to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

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.

OK for goats. But sheep are sweeter.

The Koran is a collection of earlier writings from the Christian and Jewish bibles with substantial additions from the Bedoin moon gods. All overlaid with rules for rapists by the Holy One, Mohamed.

Sounds like a good many Western “leaders”, academics, and even a Pope or two.

Update:

World’s Oldest Quran Supports Claim That Muhammad Changed Text Already in Existence

http://www.christianpost.com/news/quran-muhammad-oldest-islamic-text-egypt-mosque-biggest-discovery-muslim-world-153293

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.
