I agree with you completely, but Muslims believe that the Koran is literal and that everything in it is 100% true. They believe that the Koran is the result of a scientific method, and that every character in a story is a 100% true eyewitness account, and that the Koran is as 100% accurate as a well researched book on World War II would be today.
I've noticed that people of other faiths (Christians, Hindus, Jews) tend to take their holy books a little bit more allegorically.
Personally, I believe that this unyielding approach to the Koran is a major cause in Islam's adoption into a modern day society.
- rglovejoy 17y agoI really can't see how Muslims can think that the Koran is the result of a scientific method. This is a book whose contents were supposedly dictated to Muhammed by the angel Gabriel. This is a supernatural claim, not the natural. If people want to believe that the word of God was transmitted to human ears by an angel, that's fine, but please don't drag science into it.
