Mohammad your marvelous revelations by numbers and your reference to the scientific miracles do not stand up to scutiny. 24 men and 24 women but a woman's evidence is worth only half that of a man and despite all the protests to the contrary.... women are very much second class citizens in a traditional Muslim Society..... but I am sure you will come up with a bit of kitman to deny it.

I have looked at a number of websites which claim to reveal the scientific miracles of the bible and they are TOTALLY ridiculous. The Key word is SCIENTIFIC and there is not remotely scientific about the Qur'an.

Muhammad, Islam's perfect man, the example to be followed, was a ...7th century barbarian. His ... life is recorded in Ibn Ishaq's SIRAT RASUL ALLAH. Muhammad, Killed, raped, and tortured. A poet who upset Muhammad by mocking him in poems was killed on Muhammad's orders. The man tortured was Kinana bin al-rabi, who was thought to know the whereabouts ot the supposed treasure of the Bani Al-Nadir. Muhammad ordered that he be tortured, so a fire was lit on hist chest ( on the orders of Allah I suppose) when Bani al-Nadir said nothing Muhammad ordered that he be killed........... and this is your perfect man.

The Swat Valley Taliban are followers of Muhammad and they operate in the same disgusting way that he did. Do you believe that the wives of your enemies should be raped, because that is what Muhammad and his men did. Do you believe a disobeient wife should be beaten, Muhammad recommended it. Do you think apostates should be killed, adulterers stoned to death, a thiefs hands and feet cut off etc etc. If you do, you lack understanding and compassion.......as was the case with Muhammed....but Muhammad can be forgiven. He lived in an society which knew no better. You cannot make the same excuse, you have, via your computer, access to enlightenment. But you choose no to be enlightened for fear of upsetting your non-existent Allah.

Please do not quote the Bani Isreali to me. I support no religion because I know of no evidence for the existence of ANY god.

The Qur'an is NOT the only pure and complete word of God that exists. You only believe that because you were brought up to believe it. If you has been born in Europe you would probably be a Christian, but there is no evidence whatsoever for the existence of the Christian god. If you had been born in Tibet you would be a follower of the Dhali Lama. There is no EVIDENCE for the existence of any God. Religions have done nothing but cause trouble since some primitive fool dreamt up the idea...... and you particular religion is a very unpleasant one. Why not give it up and become a compassionate, feeling, human being, concerned about the well-being of ALL your fellow men, from wherever they might be.
