You are delusional Lordlink, the Koran is filled with imperfections and self-contradictions.

I'll quote a few things from Ibn Warraq (which I scanned and posted already):
Quote:
The doctrine of abrogation also makes a mockery of the Muslim dogma that the Koran is a faithful and unalterable reproduction of the original scriptures that are preserved in heaven. If God's words are eternal, uncreated, and of universal significance, then how come we talk of God's words being superseded or becoming obsolete? Are some of the words of God to be preferred to other words of God? Apparently yes. According to Muir, some 200 verses have been canceled by later ones. Thus we have the strange situation where the entire Koran is recited as the word of God, and yet there are passages that can be considered not "true"; in other words, 3 percent of the Koran is acknowledged as falsehood.
And again I'll paraphrase him:

Up to 275 words in that Koran are considered foreign, not Arabic, even the word "Koran" comes from Syriac and Muhammad got it from Christian sources.

The Koran is also contradictory in its account of Creation:

"Two days for the earth, four days for the nourishment, and two days for the seven heavens make eight days (sura 41), whereas in sura 50 we are told the creation took six days."

It's utter bullshit that the Koran is in line with modern scientific views:

"Since Muslims still take the Koranic account literally, I am duty bound to point out how it does not accord with modern scientific opinion on the origins of the universe and life on earth. Even on its own terms the Koranic account is inconsistent and full of absurdities.

We have already noted the contradictions in the number of days for the creation.Allah merely has to say "Be," and His will is accomplished, and yet it takes the Almighty six days to create the heavens. Also, how could there have been "days" before the creation of the earth and the sun, since a "day" is merely the time the earth takes to make a revolution on its axis?

I'm not going to plagiarize his book any further, just know that there isn't a single one of your arguments he hasn't defeated.
