Yeah. As I was wriiting I started to think about that and thought I should maybe rephrase the above since the Bahai writings basically repeat the challenge of the Quran. [2.23] And if you are in doubt as to that which We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a chapter like it and call on your witnesses besides Allah if you are truthful. [11.13] Or, do they say: He has forged it. Say: Then bring ten forged chapters like it and call upon whom you can besides Allah, if you are truthful. [52.33] Or do they say: He has forged it. Nay! they do not believe. [52.34] Then let them bring an announcement like it if they are truthful.
