I am not conversant with Luxemberg's work, a condition that I should probably remedy.

What strikes me is that the same academic manuvers are being used on the Koran that have been used on the Bible for centuries.

In this case, the modern author can "prove" with textual analysis that the work was written in a different tongue and in a different way than dogma would have us believe.

No doubt this will lead to a quick FATWAH against Luxenberg. Then again, how many people were burned at the stake because they published, or even used, a version of the Bible that wasn't approved by authorities of their day?

Maybe Islam is simply 600-700 years behind Christianity, and simply must make all of the mistakes that Christians made along the way?

Good point. Everyone should be able to write their own Constitutions, Federal Statutes, Army Regulations, Medical Texts, State Laws, County Codes, and Sacred Scriptures etc etc etc
