Paul,

One hardly knows how to respond nor where to begin to the charge that there are no contradictions in the Koran. Obviously there are both internal and external contradictions in the Koran, any book written by a man is prone to this. How could it be otherwise? Let me give you a few brief examples, only a few of many contradictions found. My quotes are from ???The Meaning of The Holy Qur???an??? by Abdullah Yusuf Ali (a book I own).

Sura 39:4 ???Had Allah wished to take to Himself A son, He could have Chosen whom He pleased Out of those whom He Doth create: but Glory Be to Him! (He is above Such things.) He is Allah, The One, the Irresistible."

Sura 6:101 ???Wonderful Originator of the heavens and the earth; How can He have a son when He has no consort? He created all things, and He hath full knowledge of all things.???

These Suras agree in that they teach that God (Allah) does not have a son however the point is that Sura 39 says that it is possible for God (Allah) ???to take to Himself a son???. In other words, it is possible for God (Allah) to have a son ???had Allah wished???. On the other hand Sura 6 as the rhetorical question ??????How can He have a son when He has no consort???? This question requires the answer ???no??? to the question. Sura 6 asks a good question, however the clear message of the writer of this Sura is that it is impossible for God (Allah) to have a son.

Paul, the point is simple. One Sura says it is impossible for God to have a son (Sura 6) and another says it is possible for God to have a son, if God wished. Don???t let this young man fool you into believing that the issue of these two verses has to do with ???whether or not God has a son???. The issue is one of possibility not reality.

Furthermore, a book which purports that the earth is flat is clearly not from God. Sura 18:86 says ???Till, when he [the traveller Zul-qarnain] reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it going down into a muddy spring??? and Sura 18:90 says ???Till, when he reached the rising-place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had appointed no shelter from it.??? Paul, I can guarantee you that what is written here, as being true, is silly. This traveler never reached a ???muddy spring??? where the sun sets.

How???s this one? Sura 12:41 says that the Patriarch Joseph said ???O my two mates of the prison! as for one of you, he shall give his lord to drink wine; and as for the other, he shall be crucified, so that the birds shall eat from his head, the matter is decreed concerning which you inquired.??? Suppose you were the ???mate??? who was to be crucified; wouldn???t you have said ???Hey, Joseph wait just a cotton picking minute, what the heck is a crucifixion???? The Persians were the first to utilize this form of execution not the Egyptians and certainly not during Joseph???s time.

This young man implies that the author of the Koran is not the same author as the Bible. He is 100% accurate in his assumption. It???s as simple as that. The Bible and the Koran have different origins and very different authors.
