Questions I'm not asking the local population.

1. Many Christians and Jews say "Jesus Christ!!" and "Oh my God!" quite often. Why don't Muslims ever seem to say "Oh my Allah!!"?


Don't have a clue.

2. What's Mohamed's last name?

No, back then you only had one name........there weren't as many people as there are now. Hence, it was Jesus of Nazareth to distinguish from Jesus of Tel Aviv. There was no need for a second name.

3. Where is the original Koran? It's only ~1400 years old, is there an actual book somewhere? Why not? If not, what's the history of how it was maintained over the centuries?

The Koran is a book but I hardly think the original still exists. You know that it wasn't written by Mohammad........he couldn't read or write. The story goes that the Archangel Gabriel told him the Koran in a cave over a period of years. And then he would come down from the cave and read it to some guy who would put it into writing. It was before books were invented in Baghdad and paper in China so you can imagine what it was written on and how well it held up through the centuries. That's assuming the story is true.........and that Mohammad actually existed.
