Ah, glad you're still there Aurlito - I wasn't sure whether anyone was interested.
I'm not concerned with whether anything was changed en-masse, simply whether the Koran, as now seen, is the unchanged word of a god. Even if I were to accept that it was the word of a god in the first place, there seems to be mounting evidence that the word now preached is not exactly the same as Mohammed "heard" during his visions. For the idea of the immutable incorruptible word of a god being present in today's versions of the Koran to be refuted, it needs only one word to be shown to have been changed.
I cannot see the pictures in the article but if the text is correct they contain evidence that earlier, different, versions existed.
As for your remark

you are confusing supernatural purity of a book with violent aggressive suppression of dissidence. They did quite a good job though, it must be admitted. Better retain one's head, however bullied and corrupted, than be dead. It doesn't alter the facts though: it's been changed, my friend.Aurlito wrote:soon after Mohammad's death Iran and lands that today we call Syria and Iraq were submitted to Khalifa. changing Quran was impossible.
