The Quran isn't as interesting as the interests in it's wake. It never was about religion. It was about one set of traders, one trading city, trying to get sway over the other.
Religion is just a tool. Back then and now. It's used ot motivate the infringed masses, but it's not what the ones calling the shots have in mind.
