The Christian missionaries tend to make the general conclusion that the Qur’an cannot be a text of divine origin because of the unacceptable meanings included in it. Perhaps they are correct in this conclusion and we may be inclined to agree with them due to the following reasons, which are :
- 1. The Qur’an does not say a prophet slept with his daughters.
2. The Qur’an does not say a prophet slept with his neighbour’s wife and plotted to kill him
3. The Qur’an does not say a prophet worshipped the Golden Calf.
4. The Qur’an does not say a prophet changed his religion, worshipped idols and built for them temples.
5. The Qur’an does not say a prophet told lies and that God deceived and destroyed another prophet.
6. The Qur’an does not say David, Solomon and Jesus were originally bastards from the seed of Pharez, son of Judah.
7. The Qur’an does not say the firstborn of the Great Prophet who was the firstborn of God slept with his stepmother.
8. The Qur’an does not say the second son of the same Great Prophet (firstborn of God) slept with his daughter-in-law.
9. The Qur’an does not contain lurid details and explicit pornography involving men of Assyria and whores from Egypt.
10. The Qur’an does not say John the Baptist, who was the greatest Israelite Prophet ever according to Jesus — though the least in the kingdom of God was greater than him ! — failed to recognize his second lord on earth, although this lord followed him and got baptized by him. At least not until he saw the third god descending on this second god as a pigeon.
11. The Qur’an does not say the apostle of this god, Judas Iscariot, who performed many miracles in his name and was among the disciples who were greater than Moses and other Israelite Prophets according to Jesus, delivered his god to the hands of his enemies for 30 pieces.
12. The Qur’an does not say Caiaphas, the high priest — who was a prophet according to John the Baptist — rejected, insulted and made a verdict to kill his god.
For all the above reasons, we conclude that the Qur’an, unlike the Bible, cannot be a text of divine origin. 
Golly, I am surprised that “cahaya” is still refering to such gratuitous and excrutiatingly presumptuous orientalistic folklore.
1. Have you not even read or checked or refuted the claims against the Bible ?
2. Well, let’s do #1 first.
How does what is said in another book prove that the Quran is divine?!
The Quran cannot be divine : Look at the bizarre amalgam in regard to the story of Jesus.
1. We are told that Jesus is only a prophet of Allah (I did already told you that the rerasons given by Allah as in Jesus breathing air and eating food are irrational reasons to conclude that he was just a man and not a God but again simple and profound Aristotelian logic was beyond your Allah).
2. We are also told that Jesus was able to create life by breating life into clay birds this indeed makes him a God.
3. We are also told that Jesus was lifted by Allah which would mean that he did not die and a being that does not die is a God.
4. Allah declares that the Trinity is Allah, Jesus and Mary which is not really the real Christian Trinity.
So where did Muhammad get all this strange and contradictory information from ?
Well, we know that all of these ideas about the nature of the Christ were already being debated by Christians in the Middle East in the late antique period including Arias of Alexandria, Nestorians, Jacobites, Melkites, Gnostics etc…
Now the question now would be how did Muhammad the poor theologian transmit such information in the Qur’an ?
1. May be during his travel to Syria he did discuss and listen to what Christians in the Middle East were saying about the matter. I very much doubt that this is what really happened, because after the Arab invasion of the Middle East the extant Syriac, Coptic and Greek sources are _silent_about anything to do with Muhammad visiting Syria. The people of the Middle East had no clue who those invaders were. Those Arab invaders called themselves not Muslims and not Arabs but : al-Muhajiruun go figure!. As for the story of Bohira (see the Sira) I suspect that this was made up and should not be regarded as real history.
2. The second possibility is that may be Muhammad learned about such information from Christians living in th HIjaz. However, the Christian and Jewish sources are silent about any such communities in either Mecca or Medina.
3. Last : I suspect and I agree with Wansbrough that the origin of Islam is from Mesopotamia and not Arabia and that the Arab polity that invaded the Middle East in the early 630’s had no defined religion as of yet and Islam was already being formed from the sectarian debates among Chistians and Jews and the end result was Islam. The Arab polity selected Islam as the religion of the emerging Arab state. I do belive that this is indeed what happened. But this detaches Islam from Arabia and Muahammad from the Qur’an. This fits very nicely with the extant evidence that we have.

Aditya, I’m confused. Arent Singhs Sikhs ? Kindly shed some light, bro.
Hehehe.…. nice way to defend your religion.
Your brought up good points. Lets see what the christians say.
I am a hindu BTW.
Very interesting, indeed. What were we Muslims thinking ? The Quran has no stories of incest, adultery and murder, but the Bible does. How could we have been so naïve ? It is so obvious !
You just made a summary of what been said before:-D
The only thing i can say is LOL
a smart refutation, bro. let us see what they’re going to say about this. “divine” indeed.
