memorizing A HOLY QURAN is not and never the same as memorizing other book , and whoever makes such a comparism is just like comaping the dead with the living ,

For Allah says He will protect His book and nobody can temper/alter it. I watched a debate between Late Sheikh Ahmad Deedat and Reverend Douglas where Deedat distributed copies of Bible. He later said that in a certain page of the bible distributed, there was an alteration which he deliberately made. He offered one hundred dollars for any Christian who found the alteration in that particular page. Unfortunately nobody coud win the one hundred dollars (Shame). It is, however, not the same with Qur'an. A single alteration could easily be detected and corrected.
It was Qur'an, it is Qur'an and it will forever be ONE STANDARD QUR'AN. Many are envious of the book but there is nothing they can do.

No one can say anything about the Koran because we Christains are not interested in spoting any alteration on it. Yous read the Holy Bible just to find fault so as to promote your Koran and to make yourselves feel good. ...for your sheikh; he was confused...or did not understand... ...go ahead make my day; tell me the part the sheikh was confused on...and watch me break it down.
