    Hello all,

    NOTE Please hold on to your tantrums.

    I believe that when one executes to understand Quran and hence Islam, one must first thoroughly study, research and understand Islamic and pre-Islamic historicity. We all know that just prior to Islam's evolution, apparently when Muhammad was around 40, and took him some 20 odd long years for Islam's establishment (in stages), there were already several claimed monotheistic and polytheistic pagan sanctions that were vibrant, flourishing and upheld, such as Christianism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism and so forth, including other Greek, Roman, Latin, Sanskrit mythologies and ideologies. Everything that the Quran professes already existed in just about every cult in various ways, and therefore, Muhammad and his accomplices already knew what we read in the Quran today, knowing via historical accounts that he was a merchant, wealthy, well-known, a traveler and as well as clement and barbarous. Besides, the Quran not only consists of Muhammad?s narrations which became known AFTER his advent, but other stuff such as myths, pre-Islamic events, poetry, pagan rituals, etc., collected, compiled and penned together. So to make a bizarre statement as to ONLY Muhammad could have known some of today?s science, which by the way, is NOT the science of their times, including but not limited to well-known Arabic and Persian poetry, is not only flabbergasted but unrealistic and unintelligent.

    Using roots from current dictionaries and picking to flip-flop-n-fit one of its meanings to understand Quran in today's perspectives is simply a joke and does not help to better understand what Islam originally was, even if one thinks that the word fits in the context in which it speaks. There has been, and, ongoing in accelerated fashions, countless number of individuals, male and female, young and old (whether born Muslims, converted Muslims and non-Muslims alike), laboriously, wittingly and dubiously tearing apart the originality of Islam via the Quran and Ahadiths, administering their intelligence and capitals to bring about their own versions and editions of interpretations/translations along with websites to promote profusely an aroused reality. No matter what ones innovated renditions are by hip-hopping from verse to verse and chapter to chapter from within the Quran, will never surpass any certification for two simple reasons First, dismissal of all historical accounts dating and pre-dating Islam, and second, IF every letter of the entire Quran and therefore its message was/is that of Allah?s, then one has just outperformed HIM and making a mockery of Quran, Islam, Muhammad and Allah, and making a fool out of themselves. If one persists in doing so, then the question of Islam by its very name doesn't click.

    Today, one can claim and acknowledge having doctorate professions in any number of subjects/fields. Heck even an intelligent sixteen year old can grasp that idea underneath their skirts, having no proper training and knowledge to begin with. We are linked and communicated to the world (Internet) with unsurpassed wealth of information gathered from all corners and angles of our existence (World Wide Web) via a tiny piece of machine called Computer. It is simply matchless and the possibilities of what one can do are boundless. Can we call it the GOD of Fantastic Reality? How about if Muhammad was born today and the similitude of Quran was invented? What do you think would happen?

    ?Today's shocks are yesterday?s inventions and tomorrow's innovations?
