Mellow and peaceful revisited

I can very much say to you that I bet you a buck that many Nazis felt mellow and peaceful after reading "Mein Kamf" (sp?) so what is the difference between reading Mein Kamf and reading the Qur'an and feeling mellow and peaceful? And how do you know that your friends were not faking this mellow and peaceful feeling?

This is a bogus argument. The sad thing is your Pakistani friends cannot even read the Qur'an in Arabic and they have to depend on a translation and I can assure that I can read the Qur'an in Arabic because my Arabic is very good and the Qur'an is a confusing and confused book and it is nothing but poor literature. It is "Text with no context." We have no clue that it really means and if you do not read the hadith and the sira and the tafseer to help you to understand what this opaque revelation is really saying you will never understand what the Qur'an is really saying. This is how bad a text it is.

But you know what? The hadith and the sira and the tafseer are all bogus. Do you know what this means? It means that We really do not know what the Qur'an is really saying and cannot even reconstruct the life of Muhammad by reading the Qur'an only? Hard to believe? But ture.

The Qur'an and the Arabic literary tradition is the biggest case of fraud in the history of literature.
