After the death of Muhammad no one knew the entire Koran by heart. Many Arabs revolted against Abu Bakr and had to be forcibly put down. The greatest opposition came from Maslama (a.k.a. Musailima) who claimed to be a prophet but was executed by Abu Bakr. Then 'Umar asked Zaid ibn Thabit to collate the Koran. The suras were arranged from longest to shortest, as even then the chronological order was imperfectly known. That codex was given to Hafsa. Other scholars also compiled their own codices. These became sources of contention because they different from one another. So,'Uthman asked Zaid to write another codex and all the others were destroyed despite a fair amount of grumbling by their compilers. The variations between the codices could not be variations of dialect, as at this point the Arabic script could not express such variations, being both unvowelled and unpointed. The distinctives of the destroyed codices have survived somewhat in oral tradition.

More and more I have begun to think that racism and/or Jewish zenophobia is a smoke-screen and that the real reason the Holocaust happened was because Germany and the rest of continental Europe got into big debt and needed someone to pay the bills.

They probably as is happening today advanced unsecured loans so their proletariat could live like kings and queens and pay the prices which were being managed (or mismanaged) to allow the upper team to make a fortune.

Makes you think.

December 06, 1992 was the day when indias secular and tolerant values were given a state burial by die hard hindu fanatics and terror outfits led by RSS (not Really simple Syndication)Bajrangdal, VHP and the security forces who actively participated in pulling down the historical monument. I commemorate by wearing black band on my shoulder and wearing a tricolor flag of india which signifies Hindu Mulsim unity. How about you? lets all peace loving indians join hands and demand that the outfits like RSS, BAJRANGI DAL AND VHP ARE banished from the indian soil.
