The MSM back home isn't telling you that, are they?

I don't listen to them, so it doesn't matter what they say. I have friends whose daughter is in Army Intelligence with a Stryker brigade near Baghdad. She sends notes to her parents from time to time about the good things that are happening there, and they put me on the distribution list. ;o)

Christoph Luxenberg, a scholar of ancient Semitic languages in Germany, argues that the Koran has been misread and mistranslated for centuries. His work, based on the earliest copies of the Koran, maintains that parts of Islam's holy book are derived from pre-existing Christian Aramaic texts that were misinterpreted by later Islamic scholars who prepared the editions of the Koran commonly read today.

So, for example, the virgins who are supposedly awaiting good Islamic martyrs as their reward in paradise are in reality "white raisins" of crystal clarity rather than fair maidens.

Not to mention that the Koran was written over 100 years after Mohammad's death and that there were no persons alive who heard anything he said first hand.

"... the Koran was written over 100 years after Mohammad's death and that there were no persons alive who heard anything he said first hand."

I guess they knew that, that's why there are some 62 volumes of hadith...to give it some back-up. The hadith are the tellings of the various friends and companions of the 'prophet' who apparently watched every move he made and hung onto his every word, so the majority of islam is actually an oral tradition...of how many times he wiggled his willy when he had a pee and how often he washed his hands, and now the mohammadans do likewise. Slavishly.
