Simple intro to such comments.. "Ruthless colonization + ethnic cleansing".. "con artist". Simple words revealing twisted ignorant minds. Islam is based on the Quran. Muhammad claims only 1 miracle: The Quran. If the above ignorant minds want to dismiss Islam- very simple.. dismiss the Quran & Islam goes down the drain with it. I summarize: 1). The Quran is the only written work claiming revelation from God of the worlds . 2) The only book challenging all humans to find errors and inconsistencies. 3). Predicting history: The defeated Romans would come back and defeat the Persians within a few years. That Pharoah's body would be preserved for all to see. 4). Sciences: The Big Bang, Origin of life from water, All heavenly bodies move including the sun in orbits. These came from an illiterate man. The Quran is the standard Arabic language and grammar. It is memorized whole by millions from all over the world since the time of Muhammad himself. The text is unchanged in the same language spoken by Muhammad. Compare to the next sacred religious texts: The Bible. The old Testament is followed by the Jews a non-proselytizing small population who only care for their own kind. It is the New Testament that is behind the world's hegemony. The new Testament is not in the language of the protagonist or Jesus and the 4 books are different and contradicting. The message is not in line with previous Abrahamic prophets. One simple question, why is it so difficult for the many authors to claim it is a revelation from God. What's keeping one genuine author from making such a claim- it only takes one sentence. I challenge whoever reading this.. find a statement from any religious text that claims unequivocally it is a revelation from God, and I'll take a second look on the Quran.
