Ive read somewhere that Mohammed actually contradicted himself and had previous text changed to fit. Hardly inspired writings.

"I've read somewhere" (But no citation about source or author). That could mean anything from something scribbled on a bathroom door, to a random interpretation of the stars in the sky forming letters. It also has about the same chance of being true.
I could write something on a paper napkin, and later quite truthfully say "I read somewhere,,,,,, ". See where I'm going with this, Hootmon?
@ dr y
during the caliphate of Abu Bakr.
This must have been the onset of the military phonetic alphabet.
Abu
Bakr
Cha'Le
Dahg
E'ezi
etc.

Sort of like your own King Jimmy's book, eh, Hootmon?
In many European countries they teach how the Holy books were compiled, comparitive religion and philophecies. With a better grasp on those historys Atheism usually wins out.
Churchs are against these teachings but churchs aren't in control.
In America and Canada any suggestion of courses like those are attacked by all church groups.
The Bible contradicts itself, in the first two books. No, I didn't read it somewhere, it's all there for anyone to see, in the Bible itself.
Didn't Mohammed write it (or come up with) over a couple of decades? In the beginning, it's stuff that concerns a young man, later it focuses on things that a middle age man might focus on, and in the end it's about things that an old man finds important, sort of... Not so much contradictions as a change-of-mind.
Confused?
