Fun facts about the Koran
1 there are hundreds of codex manuscripts of the Koran, each with VAST differences, only basic similarities, missing chapters and obvious edits. Edits like in one original manuscript "god" will be saying something and in the other manuscript "god" pauses mid paragraph to say this particular brother of Muhammad is the best, then continue. Clear edits. Not one similar aged manuscript agrees with the next. In comparison the Bible has several original Greek manuscripts, the main 2 the traditional textus recepticus or Antioch manuscript has only 300 words different across the new testament vs the Alexandria manuscripts.
2 a full 1/10th of the Koran is gibberish, as in untranslatable alphabet salad, word soup, as in "hrhejsjfh" type of writing, a full 1/10th!!!. Sometimes a string of several verses in a row, half a chapter, or just 5 "words" in the middle of a sentence. The funny part is these gibberish passages all differ from one manuscript to the next and modern English versions edit it all out and just remark "It's understandable only to God" without explaining. One koran manuscript will have "eeejsgdh" and the other "qzdjtks", sometimes an entire section of a chapter
3 English translates alright from Arabic. But In 600AD when Arabic was using slay the infidel it meant literally butcher every man woman and child. English has no word for that, so when English translation says defeat the unbeliever Western audiences imagine a war where you win when the enemy surrenders instead of a genocide like annihilation.
4 the Koran states that christians believe in Mary as a God which is objectively false.
5 the Koran has a few stories about Jesus that are pulled verbatim out of the false gospels of Pseudo James and the childhood gospel of Christ as a toddler small boy. The book would have been widely circulated in Arabia as a means to witness to pagans. Considering the Koran is supposed to be God breathed these objective falsehoods glare.
