make the logical assumption that this english language translation and interpretation of the book, applied it in the context of the time and culture in which we live, written so long ago and taking it as fact is too much of a leap in logic.
try telling that to all the muslims now; you're essentially saying they cannot understand their religion. Remember, not all muslims speak arabic and live in mecca. If we accept the religion of Islam, to understand it, we must be take the translation as fact. Or at least i think so.
