The Qur'an told about the giant camel which was sent to Thamud as a test for them and their prophet Saleh:
"Salih. said, "Here is a she-camel. One day will be for her to drink, and one day for you all to take water. Do not at all molest her; otherwise you will be overtaken by the torment of a dreadful day. ". Yet they hamstrung her, and then became regretful, for the torment overtook them." "26:155-158"
People were asking: Why does the Qur'an tell about creatures that never existed as we know?
But now we know that the giant camel existed.

When the camel needs the same amount of water the whole city needs in one day this indded means that the camel was giant. Plus Arabia was full of camels, why would this one be special if it wasn't giant?

Islam is cobbled together with left over bit of other religions when invented by Mohamed of mecca . The Persian is wrong, Mohamed wasn't totally ignorant, the desert people had knowledge of Greek science and the supposed scientific facts of the Koran are just retelling of 1000 year old western science. because of the concentration of Islamic cultures on the Koranic matters , most Muslims are ignorant of the bigger world and a minor Arabs place in it. instead of looking at the source of how Mohamed invented Islam or the so called new scientific facts revealed by Mohamed of mecca, Muslims are childishly amazed by his supposed knowledge. being a Muslim requires a halt to logical and scientific thought, as any logical examination of Islamic beliefs leads to a loss of faith in a derivative invented religion now it is funny in one way and pretty sad in another that Muslims have to think that a city that lasted for 3000 years and only was destroyed 600 years before Mohamed of mecca would be forgotten. This is a miracle? what total rubbish, do you think Arabs have bad memories? do you think Arabs forget a huge local city? it is amazing that Islam has destroyed the rational part of your brain to such an extent you can no longer think rationally. it isn't a miracle it local knowledge the above question is the most stupid statement i have ever seen on yahoo answers
