My position on whether magic book is magic?  Obviously, it's not.  It's a book, and it was made by people and disseminated by people in the interests of people.  

There's no such thing, aside from the necessities of your belief in fairies, as a "corrupt" magic book.  They lay out the foundational claims of a given culture.  The means of transmission for those claims is not a problem for their contents or the truth value of their contents.  Oral tradition works pretty well, but a state has a keen interest in something more permanent and uniform, particularly if that state is engaged in aggressive territorial expansion.

Another break of rule 8.

Please stop this trolling campaign against my post. The topic's OP is clear and obvious; so discuss that.
For discussion about Islam or the Quran as a book; open a separate topic.
