The Koran could be false

A FACT
THERE IS NO LEGITIMATE REASON TO ACCEPT THE KORAN AS
AUTHENTIC
It is generally accepted that Mohammed is the author
of the Koran. (But hotly disputed by many). No one really knows. How can we
know if he really wrote the words of Allah or if he created passages himself?
Who has the authority to vouch that no errors have crept into the Koran over
time? Who tells men to believe in the Koran? To what authority can these men
appeal? Islam has no priests, no pope or head Muslim, no official institution to guarantee the authenticity and integrity
of the Koran and its teachings, no authority to say that the Koran is inspired.
They have their teachers-leaders (imams) and their recorded traditions, but who
is to say they are not engineered? Mohammed cannot guarantee to men that he is
telling the truth about the Koran. He founded no lasting institution, and he
himself did not even name a successor.
