I did and I find what S. Reichenbach wrote about it absolutely correct : "From the literary point of view, the Koran has little merit. Declamation, repetition, puerility, a lack of logic and coherence strike the unprepared reader at every turn. It is humiliating to the human intellect to think that this mediocre literature has been the subject of innumerable commentaries, and that millions of men are still wasting time absorbing it."

Take e.g. this absurdity : [2.106] "None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?"

I see, great "Allah has power over all things" and yet evidently not enough power over his own mind to avoid mistakes and contradictions. He invents a revelation, but afterwards he finds it wrong and replaces it with another without abrogating that which he has replaced with something "better". But if so, then why did he need to replace it in the first place ? The old revelation could do, couldn't it ?

Yet, evidently, Allah doesn't care about contradictions and absurdities involved in his booklet. So we see Moslems "killing us Infidels wherever they find us", forcibly converting us to their death cult and telling us that after all "there is no compulsion in religion" and always refering to Allah and his booklet. Well, Allah has fooled Moslems but he won't fool the rest of mankind which is still 80/85% of all humans living on this planet !
