“My idea is that the Koran is a kind of cocktail of texts that were not all understood even at the time of Muhammad. Many of them may even be a hundred years older than Islam itself. Even within Islamic traditions there is a huge body of contradictory information, including a significant Christian substrate; one can derive a whole Islamic anti-history from them if one wants.” IfsWantYearsKindMayIdeasWholeBodyChristianInformationHugeUnderstoodHundredTraditionIslamIncludingSignificantIslamicContradictoryMuhammadCocktails Author:Gerd R.

“The Koran claims for itself that it is "mubeen," or clear. But if you look at it, you will notice that every fifth sentence or so simply doesnt make sense. Many Muslims and Orientalists will tell you otherwise, of course, but the fact is that a fifth of the Koranic text is just incomprehensible.” IfsLooksFactsCoursesClearClaimsIslamSentencesMake SenseFifth Author:Gerd R.
