The Koran is translated in English!

Dear Dhimmi: My point is that anyone may read and understand the Koran without being Islamic. There are professors who are totally capable of teaching and interpreting the Koran. You throw gobbledegook at me and expect me to be intimidated! The class has been excellent, and really helped all students to understand the Koran and all scriptures.

I think you are insecure that others are studying the Koran and see into your world. We also know the book helps muslims turn away from their lower passions, towards the higher aspirations of worshiping and obeying God.

The Koran doesn't follow a systematic historical or thematic approach, rather stories from the past, laws, and moral teachings drive the Book's narrative. I have found this very interesting.

The Koran serves as a guide to belief in the Oneness of God, and leads to an ethical life defined as Submission or Surrender to the Will of God (Islam). This complete way of life offers guidance through both personal and communal laws.

Personally I think you are feeding me a line of nonsense. This is how most muslims fight truth by using deception and trying to drag others off their course.

As far as the Bible and God. Isaiah 45:5 I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.

You would be wise to learn this lesson early before the second coming of Christ.
