But since he (and numerous others) clearly quoted contradictory verses in the Qur'an, either the Qur'an (as the word allegedly of Allah) is an admittedly self-contradictory work OR the latter verses which contradict the earlier ones must abrogate those earlier verses.
Few of the "contradictory" verses that anyone has cited were on As-Suyuti's list, meaning that they aren't nasikh or mansukh.
Sorry, non-Muslims working with an English translation of the Qur'an don't have the scriptural knowledge to determine matters of such importance. 
The "LOL" was the only honest part of that reply. I had almost forgotten that conversion of others to your vile "faith" is required by your hideous holy book, and you Muslims insist on converting non-believers (when you aren't trying to just kill them). And as part of this grand plan, one is required to do all the prayers and read the Qur'an, but you folks provide the interesting twist: folks gotta read that cheese-dick work of fiction IN the original language even if that means one has to learn that language. Translations are always inferior, of course, to the alleged word of that violent madman god you worship. So, even though it is ABSOLUTELY CRYSTAL CLEAR (and if there was such a thing as an HONEST Muslim "scholar" he would be compelled to admit and acknowledge) that some verses within the Qur'an are undeniably contradictory.
But you, being a fraud as always, simply deny that major premise: "No no. There are no contradictions in any verses of the Qur'an."
You are, now, as always, exactly what I said you are. You are a liar.
Here is a very brief excerpt of a work (link provided at end) that demonstrates internal contradictions within Qur'anic verses:
* * * *
(Quran-3:7)— “He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are clear and decisive, they are the basis of the Book, and others are allegorical; then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity they follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation. but none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; and none do mind except those having understanding.”
Allah says in Quran that, “I made Qur’an very clear, simple and easy and written in Arabic (44:58, 54:22, 54:32, 54:40) so that Muslims (Arabs of course) can understand very easily?” Please listen what Merciful Allah says in Qur’an: “ But We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? (54:22); and “We have made it a Qur'an in Arabic, that ye may be able to understand and learn wisdom (43:3)”. Allah emphatically declared that He made Quran very easy so that Muslims can understand very easily.
No where in the Quran Allah says that my words must be read with the help of Quranic interpretations and commentaries! * * * *

Islam Watch - "Samples of Quranic (koran) Contradictions and Flaws" by Syed Kamran Mirza by Syed Kamran Mirza.
Syed got it right. The contradiction is quite clear. It is not a problem of "translation." No honest person could deny that contradiction.
Why would Allah
contradict himself? If it's not a contradiction, but Allah merely
changed his mind about whether his little tome was clear to Muslims for easy understanding -- or not -- then the Qur'an must be subject to abrogation.
And then there are these contradictions (which you can try to deny constitute contradictions, but that's just dishonest of you if you try, for obvious reasons). And, again, it is not a matter of mis-translation, either:

E. Self-contradictory Quranic verses
Which one is correct?
• Quran-2:256: There is no Compulsion in religion…. OR
• Quran-9:29: Fight those who do not profess the true faith (Islam) till they pay the poll-tax (jiziya) with the hand of humility.
• Quran-9:5: Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them and take them captive, and besiege them and prepare for them each ambush….
• Quran-47:4: When you meet the unbelievers in the Jihad strike off their heads….
• Quran-2:191: And slay (kill) them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out such is the reward of those who suppress faith.
• Quran-8: 65: O Apostle! Rouse the believers to the fight…(against) unbelievers. * * * *
-- Id.
Sounds like a shit-load of compulsion going on, but there is no compulsion.
So, again, either Allah's little book for easily misguided Muslims contains examples of the allegedly Almighty contradicting himself OR Allah changed his mind and the latter verses abrogate the former.
How does an Allah-fearing and devout Muslim wishing to be a good adherent of Islam resolve that? Does he refrain from compelling or attempting to compel others into "belief" in Islam OR does he act like a massively psychotic violent son of a ***** and strike off their heads and fingertips, and does he make them pay taxes to feel subjugated?
Spin it all you wish, Kalam, but you never answer such a direct question. We all know why. You can't.
