IMHO, acceptance or rejection has more to do with one's response to the latest Prophet. I mean, I could say the same thing about Buddhism as this fellow said about Islam. Before I was a Baha'i, the Buddhisms and the Buddhist sutras I read never appealed to me. (They still don't appeal to me.) Islam also did not appeal to me before I became a Baha'i. However, what turned me off is the concept of finality, not the Qur'an. Regards, Mark A.
