Why do Muslims claim all kinds of things about the Quran, but never back it up with cites?

Question

Is it because they don't know? For example, many Muslims do not appear to know that the written Quran was done by the 3rd Caliph Uthman many years after the death of Muhammad. The committee he formed decided what should and should not be included. They used violence to destroy the original versions. Except for the copy retained by Muhammad's wife Umar.

Answer 1

Any religion or belief system that advocates violence or discrimination is criminal. - Its as simple as that.

I can't believe that the Koran is used as a book of worship.

To your point: Maybe those who wrote the book simply misquoted Mohammad?

God's message goes against everything in the 2nd half of the Koran (A time after he was kicked out of Mecca.)

Harmony is harmony.

Disharmony is the only sin against God.

Jesus said, "Forgive others for their mistakes; If you do not forgive others, your father in Heaven will not forgive you."

My point: Jesus said to forgive people. Mohammad seems to be saying convert people, if they don't convert, kill them in the name of Allah.

I feel so sorry for any Muslim who is "peace-loving".

The Bible has violence, but only a history of what people did, when they felt God approved of violence.

The Koran is written as a blatant instruction book to commit autrocities against non-Muslims.

There is a huge difference between a history of violence (like in the Old Testament) and an actual instruction book telling the followeres to commit violence.

Answer 2

We do think the Quran was never changed and we have so many proofs to back it up. You shouldn't always ask an ignorant Muslim and say 'well their all dumb'. Uthman actually wrote the first Quran 'full'. That does not mean that anything was taken out of text or removed out of the original revelation to the prophet, it was just that people would write it on pieces of paper without really joining them into a book, an act Uthman did.

Answer 3

With the death of the Prophet (pbuh) there was a void as to who would now lead the faithful and be head of state. This would lead to Islamic political theories of the Khilafat and Imamat. The Khalafat is the term or title for the Islamic leader of the Ummah, or community of Islam, to mean successor to the prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It is believed that when the Prophet died he did not leave instructions as to how the Muslim community should be governed after his death. This raised the question as to who would be the successor and how much power he would have. The clan and tribal leaders thought is would be best if the new leader would be chosen by election as leaders had been in their past, they became known as Sunni, or orthodox. This caused a rift in the Islamic community, Imamat, with those who though only the blood relatives of the Prophet should lead the faithful. These followers are called the Shii, or supporters, for they are the supporters of Ali (pbuh) the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet. The first of the Khalafat was Abu Bakr (pbuh) 632-634 CE; he had been one of Muhammad’s father-n-laws. With his guidance the Quran was placed into text. He moved the Islamic influence into Syria and established a council to elect future leaders before he died of old age. Abu Bakr (pbuh) was followed by Omar (pbuh), 634-644 CE, who was able to gain full control of Syria. BY 640 CE he was able to defeat the Persian army in Iran and Iraq. He would be assonated in 644. He was succeeded by Othman (pbuh), 644-656 CE. Othman (pbuh) standardized the Quran and distributed it throughout the growing Islamic empire. He was also able to move influence into Egypt before he too was assonated by rebellious soldiers. He was followed by Ali (pbuh) 656-661; whom the Shii believed to be the true leader of the faithful. He was married to Muhammad’s (pbuh) daughter Fathama. Many believed that he should have done more to find the men who had assonated Othman (pbuh). Throughout his rule there was civil unrest. This would lead to his death. When Ali (pbuh) was able to make a truce rather then win against the governor of Syria, Mu’awiya, some of his supporters left him. This group would be called the Kharijites. He would be later assonated by a member of this group while praying for peace. After the death of his father Hasan ibn Ali tried to gain control. But after being defeated by Mu’awiya he retired to Medina to live as an Imam. This left way for Mu’awiya to create the first dynasty of Umayyad 661-750 CE, followed by the Abbasides 750-1248 CE, and the Ottomans 1453-1921 CE. Although the Prophet did not leave a guide as to how to select leaders for the faithful there were laws handed down by God and the Sunnah to show the faithful the straight path.

Two of the Qurans of the five Uthman had coppied are still in existance; one in Turkey the other in Russia

Answer 4

False..Committee did not decide anything else but the Sequence of chapter..
There were Hafiz(Person who knows Quran by heart)then and are over 10 million today(is't it a miracle itself???)
Quran was written ..whole chapters in the life of muhammad(saw)
there is no evidence of any disagreement..
And where are you quoting from?
Where is your proof?
This whole thing is just a cooked up hoax..!

Answer 5

From what I understand the original, written by Muhammad's traveling companions, was lost while he was still alive, so any edition was done long after Muhammad's death.

However, if it was done by the Uthman, why does the other faction, the one that doesn't accept that decendent line, object to the writing?

Answer 6

what's the element of answering this question mutually as its obtrusive which you already be attentive to the respond you like? develop up, seek for advice from with God your self and you gets some actually suggestions on your obtrusive issues. All religions - which includes Judaism, Christianity and Islam - are misinterpreted by using believers and non-believers alike. not between the classic "holy books" have been written by using God, purely inperfect people who commonly have been given it thoroughly incorrect. it is thoroughly ridiculous to quote small sections of any of the "holy books" out of context.

Answer 7

They have first and foremost to carry out the commands of the Quran, and only then are they free to answer your questions.

Some of these commands are as follows:

"[Allah] it is who sent His Apostle with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though polytheists may be averse." - Sura 9:33

"O Prophet! Make war [Jihad] against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is their destination." - Sura 9:73

"O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in your hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil)," - Sura 9:123

"Let not the unbelievers think they will ever get away. They have not the power to do so. Muster against them all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of God and your enemy... Prophet, (Mohammed) rouse the faithful to arms! If they (the non-Muslims) incline to peace (accept Islam) make peace with them." - Sura 8:59

Answer 8

well, you're not backing your statements up either.
