<<May you allow me to share with you this short study on the grammatical problems in the Arabic text of the Quran. The English reader may not fully recognize the importance of diacritical points in the Arabic language. We will cover this in our study. To begin, it must be emphasized (as has been done) that the Quran was originally written in the Arabic language WITHOUT DIACRITICAL POINTS, as this was the nature of Arabic writings at the inception of Islam.>>
Any third grade Arabic student could see through this. The Quranic texts are clear, authenticated, and undisputably verified as maintaining pure and original meaning (By Islamic and Non-Islamic Scholars, repeatedly, generation after generation over 1400 years). I'm sure this anonymous author knows it. Notice he doesn't claim the meaning was changed, he only claims language scholars if they wanted to could have done this or that and thus corrupted it, through grammatical trickery. Rediculas, if you know much about how the Quranic texts, and the Hadith were authenticated you also know this would have been impossible to get away with. Again, with his background I'm sure he knows that.
The extent that he went to in order to reach his conclusion, clearly should show everyone that it is not an attempt to perform true analysis or research. It is an attempt to exploit an ignorant audience. This is not offensive to Muslims or Arabs, except by the obvious intent to deceive. Its not aimed at us, it is aimed at the Christian community.
<<This article was received from one of our Christian brothers living in Egypt who chooses to remain anonymous due to the very real threat of of Islamic retaliation. He is native Egyptian and Arabic is his native language. >>
Buyers beware, this guy is an obvious creepy, coniving, manipulator. He is playing on your lack of information about Islam, Arabic, and Egypt. What a con artist. He is not worried about what may have happened in Quranic History. Look at his grammatical manipulation for a calculated result. NO educated person would buy this. As I said previously, in Cairo there are Churches everywhere, the government doctrines declare religious tolerance, Muslims and Christians are welcome to discuss their issues openly. They freely associate and mix every where in the culture. The reasons for his anonymity have nothing to do with his fear of Islamic retaliation. Propagandizing to bolster, and bandwagon a movement is very dangerous, but it is most destructive to the movement itself in the long run. You're calling him a "Christian Brother." See, here is an example of what I was refering to in my last post. There are no standards as long as the Christian movement is advanced and in the process the Christian movement demonstrates a shedding of principles.
Really Steve, this is amazing. Did I miss something? This is way beneath what I followed in your previous posts. |
