Speaking for myself, I don't have much problem with the Koran being self-contradictory. I do have a problem, however, when modern-day practitioners of the religion call me the daughter of apes and pigs and say that Allah told them that they have a right and a duty to kill me.

If you don't have a problem with the Bible being self-contradictory you shouldn't have a problem with the Koran being self-contradictory. Let me try this again. The Koran is alleged to be the work of one man, taking dictation from the Archangel Gabriel, directly from Allah. This is its very essence. By its nature, it cannot be self-contradictory, especially about important matters of doctrine. The Bible is alleged to be the work of many men, some directly inspired by God, some reporting historical events. There is no reason for it NOT to be self-contradictory, especially about trivial facts. We aren't talking about "fairness" but that which is the very essence.
