This is a rather lengthy talk by an internationally-known scholar on Islamic literature, etc., and he totally debunks the core assertions of Muslims about both the person we used to call, "Mohammed," and the Koran - those assertions being that the Koran was created at one time, that it has never changed, and it was created by people who actually knew the Prophet. All bunkum.
In a nutshell, the Koranic history of Mecca is not only unsupported, but literally not believable; the Koran itself evolved over centuries, was published in several different versions, and was only codified in its current form in the past 200 years. Further, much of the materials that "puzzle" Koranic scholars are pirated from Christian texts and poetry.
Mohammed himself - assuming he ever actually existed - was not only long dead when the Koranic texts were first written, but nobody in that process had ever met or seen Mohammed, or it would seem, had ever even met anyone who HAD seen the original Prophet.
It is almost as bad as the Book of Mormon, another pile of nonsense about which provably false claims still revolve.
This is not directly related to major current events, but is nevertheless worthwhile if you want some historical background on the religion that seems responsible for a disproportionate amount of earth's turmoil today.
