Quote:What Christians think or say doesn't necessarily have to mean that the same goes for the claims of another group of people whether they are Muslims
Agreed in principle. However, however,with respect Rayaan,I think that is a little disingenuous. A great many Muslims, all over world get murderously angry if anyone dares to suggest any part of the Qur'an is not the word of god.
As far as this book is concerned,I have not read it. Absence of evidence is actually evidence of absence. What it is not is PROOF of absence.My perception is that Muhammud probably existed. He may have believed God revealed the Qur'am to him,which he then recited to be written down because he was illiterate. That's all I'm able to accept.
As with the historical existence of Jesus, I consider the existence of Muhammud became irrelevant as soon as dogma was established.
