If the Quran does not teach the Trinity, can you explain who the "WE" and "OUR" are in these verses referring to Jesus and Mary?
"WE breathed into her from OUR spirit and WE made her and her son a sign for all peoples"(21:91)
".."WE breathed into (her body) of OUR spirit and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of his Revelations..."(66:12)

Why does Allah then sometimes use "I" and ""me" when speaking about himself? (2:33-Allah said: Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of heaven and earth and I know what ye reveal and what ye conceal?"

If the Arabic-English translation is not correct that is published in the Quran, as some maintain, why did they not give the correct translation? Just curious.

'We' refer to one and only Allah swt. it just shows how big and divine Allah swt is. would it sounds good if Allah use the word 'I' or 'Me'? probably not.

Don't talk crap on the Triforce! The Trinity is one God, and not three Gods. Also, there are no Christians that believe Jesus is not God. They worship Christ (aka God) (Hence the name). The bible does teach the trinity. Look for the word father, son, or ghost. If you see one of these, but not the others, check the same verse in the New American Bible. This is the American English version of the oldest Christian bible. Whenever one of those words is used it is likely in reference to or a simile to the Trinity. Also, I have never heard of a Christian group that doesn't believe in the Trinity (many don't stress it though). The Trinity means that God is the Father, God is the Son, and God is the Holy Spirit. He's all three at once, but not part one and part another. He's fully all three. Christians worship Christ, because he IS God (both fully God and fully man), not just a prophet. The Muslims believed Jesus was a very smart prophet...but not God. There are two types of Christians, Catholics (Catholic and Greek Orthodox) and Protestants (Lutherans, Presbetyrians, "Christians", Baptists, Methodists, Evangels, Episcopalians, and on and on). It doesn't take much to start up a church. Since it isn't a Catholic church, it's a protestant type. All of these that I've listed all believe in the Trinity.

the Koran rejects that God is Father Mother and Son
no Christians believe the trinity is Father Mother and SOn but some might act like it and as Chrstians we reject the idea the GOd is Father Mother and SOn as well
God is a coeternal coequal and co existant trinity of Fathe Son and Holy SPirit, one in essense and unity and three in persons
We often emphasise what it is NOT
It is NOT God as one person who is wearing three hats
It is a God who has community with in Himself and would be a world of love within Himself before there were worlds mode by HIm
God did not make Jesus who made the world
Jesus could however be eternally generated with respect to persons being and eternally generated image of God showing the idea of God and showing God, which being the same in essense somehow and eternally the Son
The HOly SPirit could be the eternally generated love between the Father and SOn who is also a person and which being in the same divine essense and eternally the Holy SPirit
the wonderful thing is we as believers made from the dust are raised and changed to become 'the bride of Christ' to somehow enter into the world of love of the Father SOn and SPirit, somehow being brought in as a family with terms like chirldren or brothers... or heirs..

No Koran does not teach the Trinity. While Jesus is an important prophet in it is Islamic faith, is not considered divine or what Christians are taught is the holy trinity.

Are you an expert in Arabic script if not then your answer go and learn it because the language you are reading Quran is translation from Arabic to English. Go ahead and learn Arabic language you will get your answer.

The we is a royal pronoun existent in other languages like french and japanese and turkish.
It is used in the Quran to denote respect to God. God uses it many times to show how He would like to be addressed.

'We' is used to express His Divine position, like many kings and queens in the past referred to themselves as 'we'
I think the proper term for this 'we' would be plural majestatis (not sure really)
No, Qur'an explicity rejects the concept of Trinity and emphasises that God is one.

In several languages, there are two types of plurals, one is a plural of numbers to refer to something that occurs in a quantity of more than one. The other plural is a plural of respect.
a. In the English language, the Queen of England refers to herself as ‘We’ instead of ‘I’. This is known as the ‘royal plural’.
b. Rajiv Gandhi, the ex-Prime Minister of India used to say in Hindi "Hum dekhna chahte hain". "We want to see." ‘Hum’ means ‘We’ which is again a royal plural in Hindi.
c. Similarly in Arabic, when Allah refers to Himself in the Qur’an, He often uses Arabic word 'Nahnu' meaning ‘We’. It does not indicate plural of number but plural of respect.
Tawheed or monotheism is one of the pillars of Islam. The existence and uniqueness of one and only one God is mentioned several times in the Qur’an. For instance in Surah Ikhlas, it says :
"Say He is Allah the One and Only."
[Al-Qur’an 112: 1]
