So, I opened up my copy of the Quran to a random page today...

Haha, yeah.

If you're supposed to read the whole of the rest of the damn thing before you can correctly interpret the first part of it, it's horrible writing. I do wonder if anyone has actually read it as far as Surah 2 anyway.

Those dogmatically minded assume the book can't contradict itself, and must make sense. But what they actually do is just pick one side of the contradiction and claim that's what God meant all along; while fellow faithfuls choose the other side of it, and also claim they are right.

The Koran is the most memorized book.  Countless people can recite subsequent verses when given preceeding random verses.  They hold contests for that.  Of course none of the people reciting the verses probably have a clue as to what they are really saying.  They are nothing more than actors saying their lines.
