I've read most of it, and its a pretty simple religion. Perhaps that is its appeal.
One of my Muslim friends told me a neat trick too. Apparently 'god' wanted to break things gently to people so where the Koran says alcohol in moderation and then later says no alcohol its not a contradiction, but just a 'building up period'. The rule is the last thing written is the 'truth' so therefore there are no contradictions Q.E.D.
They used to send each other little ‘proofs’ of gods hand in the creation of the Koran in the student mail boxes. I saw a couple of them and they were basically circular in nature, or would have required that I knew how to read Arabic to check on. I was more interested as to why they felt the NEED to send them, and I think the reason is there is a lot of peer pressure to ‘stay faithful’ and I know of students who didn’t who were harassed for it.
