You are right, I do not know for sure. I strongly believe that the Quran is not the word of God, and all material and historical background that I have read about it reinforces that belief. But I do not know.

However, I cannot understand Muhammed as a true messanger of God. Firstly because it would go against the Christian teachings and secondly because there are occasions that he contradicted his preachings with his actions. For example, he ordered four wives only, but he had more than four?. Or because in occasions, he showed extreme cruelty towards pagans. Then again, a religion that I respect and accept as a Path to God was created from his message. But as I said before, God ways are are a mistery to us.

Clacket: I´m sorry, I could not understand your post. Please elaborate?
