TwoI'm not competent to say whether the Koran is recorded in heaven, or is holy. For a small fee, however, I would be prepared to advise Dr. Jones and his colleagues on the correct usage of "its" and "it's". Details like these often make a surprising difference to the credibility of inflamatory political/religious documents.
The Koran does not have an eternal origin. It is not recorded in heaven. The Almighty God, Creator of the World, is NOT it's source. It is not holy. It's writings are human in origin, a concoction of old and new teachings. This has been stated and restated for centuries by scholars since Islam's beginnings, both Moslem and non-Moslem.
FourPots and kettles, anyone?
The earliest writings that are known to exist about the Prophet Mohammad were recorded 120 years after his death. All of the Islamic writings (the Koran and the Hadith, the biographies, the traditions and histories) are confused, contradictory and inconsistent. Maybe Mohammad never existed. We have no conclusive account about what he said or did. Yet Moslems follow the destructive teachings of Islam without question.
SixIt pains me to say this, but I don't find his point entirely unreasonable. I remember being quite shocked to discover that there is no separation of church and state in Islam, and I must agree with Dr. Jones: this isn't compatible with Western civilization.
Islamic Law is totalitarian in nature. There is no separation of church and state. It is irrational. It is supposedly immutable and cannot be changed. It must be accepted without criticism. It has many similarities to Nazism, Communism and Fascism. It is not compatible with Western Civilization.
