Anya, you have GOT to stop being so sensitive! I put "revealed" in quotation marks because I am actually 1) respecting the fact that Muslims use this term and believe the Quran was revealed and 2) to indicate that *I* don't personally believe that.
I have been in dialogues before and used terms like "revealed" and then had Muslims say, "See, you used the word yourself, so you admit the Quran was revealed" and other such things. Thus, I try to use terms that Muslims use for their own religion and yet distinguish your beliefs from mine.
And actually, for "all of a sudden", that's how I see it; I'm sure that Muslims would say that it was perfect timing for the relevant ayats to be revealed. My point to Umm_Zachariah is that not even the Quran predicted every single, little thing that was going to occur. Some things weren't written until AFTER an event (or set of events) occurred, too. So what's true of the Quran is also true of the Bible in this particular situation.
But if quotation marks bother you that much, fine, I won't use them. It'll save me some key strokes, if nothing else.
