Divine Inspiration

Then why did he choose the least effective method; having men from one small region of the planet, in one specific and finite period of time, pass the story on for hundreds of years until some other men finally write it down in a language he knew would eventually die off; to get his message of salvation out to everyone who has ever lived and ever will live?  Can’t you see how little sense that makes? If god truly wishes for as many people as possible to be saved, the first (and perhaps the only necessary) logical thing for him to do is reveal himself plainly to everyone.

Before the revelation of the Qur'an, God revealed other messages to the ancient peoples to their respective languages. So everyone got the warning. The Message of Salvation was already transmitted to those who lived, for those who will live God completes His Final Message with the last Prophet (Muhammad) destined until the end of time and all places (all humanity). The last message is the Koran. It is what you say, God reveals His Message clearly to all, in all times and places, it is the only way. One of the few surviving languages of those times is Arabic. Latin, language of powerful Roman empire, died (dead language) while Arabic, language spoken by desert tribes was preserved by the Word of God. The last Message of God is completed in Mecca, the City of God, the Kaaba (cube) is His House. Mecca was the place where God spoke to man.

But there are lots of languages from the 5th century that survive:  Greek, Chinese, Irish, Tamil, Hebrew and so on.  What you were asked, in essence, is why the final revelation of God was given only to a handful of desert nomads in a very small corner of the world. If the message was so bloody important, why didn't it also appear in Athens, Anyang, Waterford, Varanasi, Jerusalem, or any of a number of other places with higher literacy rates than Arabia?  Why wouldn't God deliver such a message to everyone , instead of a select few?

I'll give you a hint:  It's has something to do with religions being home-grown and there not being some supreme Lawgiver who gives a rat's charbroiled arse about humanity.
