Jew Hatred in Islam’s Sacred Texts: From Theory to Practice**

The essential nature of the Koranic “revelation,” as understood by Muslims, was elaborated in 1891 by Theodore Nöldeke (whose seminal 1860 Geschichte des Qorans remains a vital tool for Koranic research):

To the faith of the Muslims…the Koran is the word of God, and such also is the claim which the book itself advances…

And to this day, for the Muslim masses, as Ibn Warraq notes,

…the Koran remains the infallible word of God, the immediate word of God sent down, through the intermediary of a “spirit” or “holy spirit” or Gabriel, to Muhammad in perfect, pure Arabic; and every thing contained therein is eternal and uncreated. The original text is in heaven…The angel dictated the revelation to the Prophet, who repeated it after him, and then revealed it to the world. Modern Muslims also claim that these revelations have been preserved exactly as revealed to Muhammad, without any change, addition, or loss whatsoever…the Koran remains for all Muslims, and not just “fundamentalists” the uncreated word of God Himself. It is valid for all times and places; its ideals are, according to all Muslims, absolutely true and beyond any criticism

There were people they didn’t know at the time. It’s a “living Koran” type of thing.

Oh, wait a minute. That can’t be. Let me get back to you on this...

You know, I just thought of something. Someone should ask a muslime, “Why would God bother with the Bible, when He supposedly did it all over again with the koran? If we all supposedly worship the same God (which we don’t), why would God bother with 2 holy books?” Wonder what they would say? I’d ask myself, but I don’t know any muslimes.

Your post reminds me of the first Star Trek movie where Captain Kirk asked that supposed god, ‘what does God need with a starship’???

What does God need with a black rock?
