This Should Piss Off Some Muslims

RE: This Should Piss Off Some Muslims
Um, probably not.

Quote:4. The document contains some usage of diacritical marks. These are the dots above or below certain characters to indicate which letter is intended in the case that they share the same “skeletal” shape (for example, ب ت ث or ش س). Diacritical marks are widely known and universally recognized as postdating the lifetime of the Prophet. Now, we have examples of manuscripts where diacritical marks have been added by others later, and this could be the case here. But it’s also entirely possible, even without this consideration, that the parchment fragments could predate their use as material for a written Qurʾān by centuries.


The manuscript in the video is completely devoid of diacritical markings.
