Al-Jaʿd ibn Dirham, tutor to the Umayyad Caliph Marwan, said “The Qur’an’s eloquence is not a miracle and people can do the like of it and better.”(1)
The Mu’tazilite scholar Abu Musa said “People are able to produce the like of the Qurʾān as regards eloquence, and composition and rhetorical beauty.”(2)
The 11th century Sunni scholar Abu al-Qushairy said: “We do not claim that everything in the Qurʾān is in the highest rank of eloquence.”(3)
Ibn al-Rawandi (former Mu’tazilite scholar) (d. 910 ad) said “Indeed the Qurʾān is not the speech of a wise god. In it are contradictions and mistakes and passages that are in the realms of the absurd.”(4)

Is the qur’an a Miracle?
Is the shit I took this morning miraculous?
In that reality and life are Miracles, then yes.
In themselves,
the quran is a fraud fabricated by mohammed the liar.
The shit I took however is true, it is what it is, but not necessarily a product of direct Divine interference, therefore not miraculous. It is still as true, as opposed to a compiled fraud, and therefore superior. So in good conscious I can state my shit is better and more truthful than the quran, a lie spun by a lying arab douche bag golddigger pervert named mohammed.
Who performs that beautiful song at the end?
Great work to gather all the details. Islam sure is one of the most dangerous religion in the world for humanity. Other religions are not in the favor of mankind also. I wish if with technology we could wipe religion out of human brains in the future and replace it with more humanitarian ethical codes rather then fighting brain dead Zombies. It is not the people but their way of thinking which is dangerous for humanity. I feel science do hold answers to all of our sufferings in the future.
“Is the shit I took this morning miraculous?”
I wonder how the esteemed creators of this site take all such comments? Is that what enlightenment is about…?
Is the Quran a miracle?
Who fucking cares?
Abu Faris . . . or should I say Ben.
The why waste valuable time… for such a meaningful comment. Oh, the insight.

You are OBVIOUSLY – not a Muslim and you don’t care. So who cares – that you don’t care.
If you are taken as an epitome of West – then why waste so much time on Islam and Quran?
Let’s mutually ignore each other.
