Similarly, Surah 45:14 tells Muslims to forgive unbelievers, while Surah 9:29 commands them to fight unbelievers. The Qur'an cannot legitimately claim divine inspiration and/or preservation. It has many errors, inconsistencies, and a history of corruptions. The Qur'an is an imperfect book, and cannot be claimed as the work of a perfect and complete God. But the Muslims are too stupid and ignorant to understand this. How many Muslims have read Qur'an? With their illiteracy being around 70% - 80% it's clear that Islam is not a religion. It's POLITICS.
