What is wrong with the Quran?

[Nakosis]

Yes the Quran is certainly not from any God, if there was such thing.

I'm starting to suspect that early Islam was just another Christian sect. Muhamad may been a reference to Jesus. Tribal stories told from generation to generation. Muslim leaders attributing their own wisdom to the prophet of God.
Kind of convenient Muhamad was illiterate to explain why there was nothing ever written by him.

for me personally there is everything wrong with the ugly book the Quran, its a book that I wish never appeared to mankind.

Yes its all a wast of time, its an ugly belief system, there is no other words for it.

Yes, due to boredom. The long harangue accusing Jews of failing God was tedious. Will pick up in time.

Some people find Mathematics, Physics and or Chemistry boring. Is there something wrong with these subjects? These subjects are essential for looking deep in the nature or the Universe. The boredom could be superficial. Right? Please
Almost all or most of the questions one put in one's post have been answered already amply and reasonably, if one is interested I could provide the link. Please

That's a provocative suggestion. You might find this wiki page of interest: Historicity of Muhammad - Wikipedia

Seems to depend on which historian's views one wants to accept. I know that. It just seems questionable to accept anyone speaking for God. Why trust in folks we can have so little certainty about?

It has been written that Islam has no equivalent of the Pope, but what is the order of control?

When they achieve world domination who will be the headman?

Will they continue to fight amongst themselves?

That's just it. They can never resolve this because the Quran does not appoint a system of succession.

As is the "Kingdom of God" a spiritual expression so is the system of succession truly explained in Quran:
Quran verse 24:56
[24:56] Allah has promised to those among you who believe and do good works that He will surely make them Successors in the earth, as He made Successors from among those who were before them; and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them; and that He will surely give them in exchange security and peace after their fear: They will worship Me, and they will not associate anything with Me. Then whoso is ungrateful after that, they will be the rebellious.

Allah was not a very competent god or he would have sorted all this out from the get go.

it was the followers in the end who failed not God.

It's not an authorised Will of Muhammad unfortunately but could be referring to the Imams but the Sunnis never agreed with this so there was a rift from the beginning.

It could have been a lack of communication if the Quran is anything to go by.

I think that initially they followed culture and had the Four Rightly Guided Caliphs but then after that the Umayyads and Abbasids saw a chance to conquer and gain great power and wealth.

But many people joined Islam not because of a sword at their threat but because it offered a better way of life and became renowned for education and learning. Baghdad became the centre of learning at one time.

Resurrecting this thread:-

Concepts of retribution,

This is from chapter 2,

178You who believe, fair retribution is prescribed for you in cases
of murder: the free man for the free man, the slave for the slave, the
female for the female.b But if the culprit is pardoned by his
aggrieved brother, this shall be adhered to fairly, and the culprit shall
pay what is due in a good way.

Note that this is clear direction in the Quran for honor killing. If one community kills one person from another community, a person of the same status can be killed from the offending community as retribution.

So if an Islamic country institutes honor killing as the law of the land, Muslims should consider it ethical and in accordance with Allah's will, correct?
