Ronniv,
Truly you have been give MANY different threads to read about the Qur'an but you seem to have lost them. But if you don't bother to READ them, then it is not hardly accurate to put the blame on the Qur'an for being insufficient. I think the insufficiency in that case lies elsewhere. When you do want to check something out, it could be better to do it properly or leave it as it is. Since I do recognize you have the same comments as in the beginning, and that means - no updating on your part. You have chosen to stay on the same platform. Only YOU know why.
''Qirâ'a pl. -ât recitation, recital
(especially of the Koran); reading
(also, e.g., of measuring instruments); manner of recitation, punctuation and vocalization
of the Koranic text.'' [1
[1] J M Cowan (Editor), Hans-Wehr Dictionary Of Modern Written Arabic, 1980 (Reprint), Librairie Du Liban, Beirut, p. 753.
You could try to read the emphasized words, says nothing about what YOU say, ''this issue of Quranic variants
''. In what BOOK or source have you found this expression? You say it is ''an open issue'' - well it is beacuse you prefer to take it no longer. But then it WILL stay an open issue for you, no matter what anyone tries to do to help you take another step to find that issue out.
So what do you say - will you stop hiding behind your words and stop exposing them as being the right ones and instead start to learn, or is it time to close down this, since it has either nothing to do with the issue here? Your choice. Truly it is leading nowhere if you are NOT willing to learn of Islam from Muslim sources.
