The Muslims believe in a conecpt of "nullification" (I forget the correct term) that essentially states that later verses in the Quran that contradict with earlier verses, contradict or "trump" the earlier verses. Read the book I mention above and you will see what I mean. The Quran directly contradicts itself and parts of Hadith contradict what the Quran says. -Roberto SanchezThis is absolute "bullshit" to be precise. There is "no" piece of the Quran OR the Hadith that ever contradicts each other. Infact, it "compliments" each other in many respect. Why not read the original Quran and the Hadith and draw your conclusion instead of 'one man's interpretation....which is as I said is pure bull. - Rathon
Then why do early verses in the Quran say that Jews and Christians (people of the Book) or OK and can continue practicing their religion and later say that they must be converted? That would seem like a contradiction to me. Here you go: Surah 2:62: "Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve." Seems to me like Jews and Christians are OK. Surah 5:82: "You will find that the worst enemies of the believers are the Jews and the idol worshipers. And you will find that the closest people in friendship to the believers are those who say, "We are Christian." This is because they have priests and monks among them, and they are not arrogant." Oops. The Jews are not longer so friendly. If that is not a contradiction, then I don't know what is. -Roberto
