In 2010, a pastor in Florida decided to protest the growing influence of Islam by upsetting 1.6 billion Muslims. Specifically, he announced that he was staging a "Burn the Koran" Day. But is this the first day of its kind? Is today's Quran the Quran that Muhammad intended his followers to have? Has the Quran changed over time? Let's take a look at the evidence!
According to Islam's most trusted sources, the Quran went through numerous changes. Entire chapters of the Quran were lost. Large passages were lost. Individual verses were lost. Phrases were lost. Muhammad's top Quran reciters couldn't even agree on which chapters should be included in the Quran!
In this video, David Wood (Acts 17 Apologetics) and Nabeel Qureshi (Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus) explore the history of the Quran to see if the facts line up with popular Muslim beliefs.
