When it comes to scriptural contradiction, it's not that big of a deal in Christianity. The books are only said to be divinely inspired, not the verbatim words of God. Not so for the Qur'an. The Qur'an claims to be the eternally existing verbatim words of God. So, if it contains contradictions, inaccuracies, and lies, then it is a major problem. But according to the Bible, it is inspired instead of verbatim, except for a few scattered quotes. And when the Bible contains mentions of an eternally existing word, it is referencing Jesus or else a power of creation which can be examined in the light of the Gospels to be considered to be pre-birth Jesus. The Qur'an is claiming essentially to be the written form of the Word, but it doesn't hold up to scrutiny even by its own internal standards. But if Jesus is the Word, then the Bible containing contradictions, problematic edits or alterations isn't a dealbreaker, since it basically represents the human perception of events, cosmology, theology, etc... And it has many different authors who have different perspectives. And these are all undeniably human authors. For example, the authors of Matthew, Mark, and the epistle of James appear to be on the same page. But Luke, Acts, and the Pauline Epistles appear to be by a different school of thought. And then the gospel of John and the Revelation are clearly completely different in nature. The other Epistles, it is hard to tell where they come down. I have classified these schools of thought by how they treat the importance of prior Jewish tradition and the Torah after reading them thoroughly. Though I personally find that they all have good points. I see it like this, that both the Semetic Christianity and the Greek Christianity are needed. Because in the Last supper story, there's something you can only see if you're familiar with the original languages. Aramaic is somewhat mutually intelligible with Arabic. Hebrew as well is very similar. The Hebrew word for bread is the same as the Aramaic and Arabic word for meat. It's a homonym. And the Koine Greek word for wine also means blood. So the symbolism here in these homonyms is not only in the gesture and the ritual. But also in the linguistics of needing both the Semetic and Greek understandings. Both the Jerusalem Church headed by James, and the understandings of the Romans who were following Paul.

It's really funny to me, coming out of Islam, which, even when reformist and liberalized, is far more conservative than any christian sect...

That Christians differ over some minor detail and will warn people against going somewhere because they don't have female priests...

Like, you do realize that compared to either Sunni or Shi'a, Roman Catholics are Hippies by comparison?

Like, men and women sit TOGETHER... in the SAME SEATING. And you can talk to women and look at them? You hippies! And not only can you drink alcohol, you do it at church? whaaaaaa??

What's this? You eat pork? Luckyyyyy...

I'm over here in awe that have co-ed seating and shake hands and people's complaints are that their denomination doesn't have lesbian ministers dressed like hatsune miku yet. Calm down.

Both are technically the same thing, the only major difference being whether it is done with caution or support of the law. And also ending forced prison labor. And there is some slavery in nearly every Muslim nation, plus the US and Thailand. It's still a very common thing. The 14th ammendment doesn't abolish legal slavery, it only limits it to prisoners. And kafala still exists. And the seized passport and trickery type of situation. Which is why I don't buy seafood from thailand or chocolate from Ivory Coast. .

Evidenciae Adversus Islamicus:

Internal Contradictions in the Qur'an

30+ Scientifically inaccurate statements in the Qur'an

Lies about Historical Facts in the Qur'an

Misrepresentation of Jewish and Christian beliefs in the Qur'an.

And something that Da'i like to harp on, the notion that Jesus hadn't claimed to be God. He did. Gospel According to John, Chapter 8

And then there are external contradictions. Namely that the Qur'an inverts Christian sacraments, says to refer to previous scriptures, but contradicts them. It gets the stories about the Prophets wrong. It legit just makes shit up that there's no record of or historic or linguistic validity for.

Liberal / Progressive Dawaganda lies and sugarcoats Shari'a and Muslim Dictatorships, while Salafis counter them declaring their talking points as lies and heresy, but then turn around and defend pdf behavior and slavery as "good acktually" and watching them fight over morality and the honor of Aisha is a whole thing.

This is a jumping off point for further study. But this shit's all made up nonsense, and it's not that hard to see if you read it with an eye to historical critical understanding.

So, you fix it, to make it palatable, because it's terrible, and you still think it is the word of God?

That makes no sense. Like, how can you think it's true, AND still try to change it to suit your preferences? The Qur'an itself literally says not to do that. And that it is perfect as delivered. (even when it's contradictory.)

She narrated her own life in like a third of all sahih hadiths, and she said she was six when she married him. And consumated when she was nine. How you gonna try to argue with the victim of CSA about how old they were while still calling yourself a feminist and liberal? And on top of that, it's the standard in Seerah, Hadith Scholarship, and consensus of all 4 madhabs and the wahabi heretics...
