I am not. And my arguments pointing out the flaws in your claim of "no errors" stands unrefuted. Picking points from anti-Islam sites is only a flaw if those sites actually misrepresent the Quran. So far you have a claim they do, and nothing else. There were literally dozens upon dozens of things linked to in my post. You didn't bother to examine any of them. You simply reasserted your dogma about the Quran not having any errors in it. That doesn't feed the bulldog, I'm afraid. Your claim that I was guilty of "cherry picking" as a flaw is an unsupported red herring.
Unless you want to be guilty of a fallacy yourself, you'll have to support your reasoning with more than dogma. Here, start on this:
You do not know what is cherry picking because if you had the idea of what it is you would never had offered me a false argument again. You should first learn about cherry picking.

Now coming to your argument whether “Mary was the sister Aaron” or not.
“At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!”
"O SISTER OF AARON! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"
Maryam (19)
-Verses 27 & 28-
Please consider the following verses from Bible.
“And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, [Thou] SON OF DAVID, have mercy on us.”
(Matt 9:27 [KJV])
“And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, [thou] SON OF DAVID.”
(Matt 20:30 [KJV])
“And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, [thou] SON OF DAVID, have mercy on me.”
(Mark 10:47 [KJV])
If you say Mary (mother of Jesus) cannot be the sister of Aaron and Jesus cannot be the son of David that means both Quran and bible have historical errors and therefore both scriptures are eligible for condemnation. However, to your surprise both Bible and Quran are correct in this particular case and you are wrong.
People of Israel were used to call each other by either their last names, or by adding words such as you "Son of..." or "Brother of...." or "Sister of...." By this act they usually affiliate people to some honourable dynasty. When they called each other by using the expression like “O Son of....” or “O Sister of…” they did not count them to be the actual son or actual sister.
Perhaps you have heard sometimes close friends use brother or sister for each other. This is only a way how people show their affections to each other or use these terms as a sign of respect to each other.
Propaganda sites are creating these type of arguments by hiding real facts specially to compel ignorant people to act against Islam.
