Sure but there are so many vastly different versions of Quran (because the author was illiterate and had to pass it on orally, over a period of 23 years) and paper was scarce back then. So no idea which one to start from. Open to suggestions.

> Sure but there are so many vastly different versions of Quran Since you seem to be acquainted, can you list them and tell us what makes them vastly different from each other? > (was illiterate and had to pass it on orally) What are your sources for the claim that the Prophet Muhammad was illiterate? He's described as al-Nabi al-Ummi [1], an "unlettered" Prophet, meaning unacquainted with the scriptures. Sahih al-Bukhari 114 describes the Prophet[2] as literate.

As a follow up suggestion, why do you not start with the Quran you already read as per your statement: > (I'd know, I've read the entire 600 pages at least 10 times). Here you mentioned a singular Quran, ie. you were not impeded by "multiple versions" to come to your conclusion that 90% of the Quran is what you say it is... so you already know where to start.

  Relax, it's a 3 day old post. You're making hate comments against Christians while asserting they're your brothers. The irony is amusing.

    I never said they’re my brothers. And sure, weasel your way out. The real irony is the one accusing hate after himself spreading hate and falsehood, while not justifying or proving any of his claims. And as if pointing out polemical characteristics is the same as writing hate… Don’t bother with another response if you aren’t going to focus on backing up all that you’ve said. Of course, you and I both know you have no choice but to flee from this because there’s nothing for you to justify.
