Here is an small portion from one. You must have missed it! Steve, I looked over what this article contested and can tell you undoubtedly it is totally false. The Revelation of the Qur'an was written as it was revealed. This nonsense that Muhammad (Pbuh) later changed the Qur'an has been spawned by groups that wish to try to bring down Islam. It would have been totally impossible and one of the Miracles of the Qur'an, which we have not addressed yet, completely shows that this would not have been possible. There is no evidence for what they say. Someone has simply posted this on a web site and you've taken it as gospel. I can find web sites saying that Mary was not a virgin (God forbid) but I don't take it as gospel because I have the intelligence to realize that anyone can post anything but that doesn't make it true. Muhammad (Pbuh) detested the Pagans and all their gods. He never tried to make a compromise as he was simply doing as he was told by God. He left Mecca several times to avoid the idolatry that took place there (and that I can prove). Once the Meccan Cheifs begged him for reconcilation. They begged he make "Allah" another idol and place it in the Kaaba. They offered him all the wealth he might need and all the women he could ever want. Muhammad (Pbuh) refused, saying: "If you were to give me the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left, never by God would I give up this cause until God makes it victorious, or I die therein." Notice the article offers no support of its statements. You can read about Muhammad's (Pbuh) life from Islamic sources and objective non-Islamic ones and find he never peached anything other than the worship of One God. Peace be unto you, Norris
