Islam = Judaism for everyone?

[Angrboda]

Islam is a copy of judaism/christainity so none of his is at all surprising.

Someone would create a mediocre book by copying an excellent book , but cannot create an excellent book by copying an mediocre book/books .

You can create an excellent book by killing anyone who says it isn't excellent. Reverse argumentum ad populum.


Truth is, all books are "copies" of other books. If excellent books weren't created by creative borrowing from literature and culture, there would be no excellent books, nor any literary traditions to make recognizable literary devices like plots, tropes, and so on. Someone once said that a good artist borrows, a great artist steals. If these books weren't based on prior literary forms, they wouldn't be recognizable as literature. All languistic creations are built out of the stuff of prior use of language. To say otherwise is to be stupid, or a clueless 19 year old, mindlessly repeating apologetic cliches.

Are the Tao Te Ching and Sun Tzu's Art of War divine? If not, then how did these excellent works occur? If you're arguing that all great artistic works are signs of god, then that's just lame, and an insult to great artists. (Not to even mention that the Koran isn't so much unique and excellent as just badly written.)
