Who Wrote The Koran

[Khandro]

... and where?

It seems the answer is far from clear.

The inimitable Koran is the literal word of God, Khandro, and has existed for all eternity.

I'm surprised you didn't know that.

[vetuste_ennemi]

No man could write the Koran.

How do I know that? Easy, the Koran tells me so.

[Khandro]

v_e; //I'm surprised you didn't know that.//

Well, I kinda had my suspicions.

Just read the Jones article. Wasn't there a program on C5(?) a while ago examining the origins of Islam, mentioning among other things the geographical incongruities which Jones alludes to? I think it was intended as a four-parter, but didn't survive the first episode on account of its having upset somebody important. (Or maybe my memory's playing tricks on me).

Now there was a recent discovery of a possible Koranic text at Birmingham University, wasn't there? It varied from the Uthman codex. Must see if I can root out the full story.

[vetuste_ennemi]

The Birmingham Koran.

No, the text agreed with the Uthman codex. There was a controversy arising from the dating, with the earliest date suggesting that the Koran, or parts thereof, preceded Mohammed (as Jones does in the article).

What is clear is that whoever wrote it has got oceans of innocent blood on his/her hands and will be spending their eternity in the hot place, the rat.

The original featuring 'witty' opening and closing statements for each section was written by Victoria Koran Mitchell.

I think it was Baldric

[DTCwordfan]

I thought it was the Ed - is Baldric the Ed?

[Tilly2]

I know...a ghost writer!

[naomi24]

DTC, If it had been written by anyone with any power in AB it would have been deleted. ;o)

[vetuste_ennemi]

...and it passes all the "Is it hate speech?" tests quite easily.

[Khandro]

I think it may have been written by Alastair Campbell.
