The Word of Mohammad

read this article from an Iranian Islamist who claimed:
Muhammad is the creator of the Koran.
http://www.drsoroush.com/English/Interviews/E-INT-The%20Word%20of%20Mohammad.html

it isn't a new story for me. Abdolkarim Soroush known in Iran as a Islamic philosopher who claimed this idea during last three years and bring a lot of controversy here.

 

Sounds like the Islamic world really needs more of people like him. I wonder if he has gotten death threats.

 

Not yet because he didn't deny Islam principals. Fatwa of dead sentence for Salman Rushdi was because he claimed Salman Farsi a Persian guys who was so close to Prophet Mohammad dictated Quran to Prophet hence he denied Mohammad was God messenger whereas Soroush didn't claim that .

first time Qoraish (prophet Mohammad trib) acused him to follow Salman Farsi and the this part of Quran came.

Chapter 16: AN-NAHL (THE BEE)
[Nahl 16:103] And indeed We know that they say, "This Qur’an is being taught by some other man"; the one they refer to speaks a foreign language, whereas this is clear Arabic!

in Arabic Quran mentioned that guy was Ajam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajam

 

The Muslim world certainly needs people who follows Muhammad(sm)'s principles.

 

He will die. He threatens the current power structure, and that is good enough.

 

Interesting. That's a much more pluralistic Iran than I imagined. I hope to see free press and TV in Iran too, someday.

 

The country would do good if it got rid of Mullahs. (duh)
