"It doesn't seem to be based on a close reading of the
Guardian's words."
Dear Gilberto,
Those are not the Guardian's own words. It is a letter written on his
behalf.
"I would suggest that if the writings say that the Quran is wholly
authentic or absolutely authentic then that would mean that the Quran
used by sunnis and shias (the Uthmanic recension) is the authentic
Quran."
Yes, it is the authentic Qur'an.
"And so if there were variant texts like Yemenite fragments
which Scott was alluding to, then they would not be the absolutely
authentic Quran."
I'm not sure that follows. It would depend on how significant the
differences were between the two.
warmest, Susan
