Interesting observations but this comment:
is true only because Brown chooses to ignore the leaps of faith which muslims insist happened. He is doing for mo what Jefferson did for jesus. Take out all the silly, supernatural, shit and reduce it to something which he, as a modern 21st century man, is comfortable with. I wonder if any of our resident muslims would be willing to toss out the "angel-visits-mo-in-the- cave" story? Without it, in Brown's view, islam becomes something very close to mormonism. The primitive ramblings of one nut.
Quote:The Muslim version should be accepted not because Islam is God’s true religion and therefore Muslims’ claims must be true. It should be accepted because it requires fewer leaps of faith than alternatives. It holds that a man named Muhammad, claiming to be a prophet, uttered a series of revelations between 610 and 632 CE and that, around the year 650 Ce, these statements were collected into the Quran.
