In my July 21, 2008 report on Arutz-7, I said that the Torah makes nonsense of the Koran. Omitted was the following statement of Abraham Geiger (1810-1874), an expert on Islam who points out that the Koran’s references to the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures are “ridiculous”:
The order in which he [Muhammad] gives the prophets is interesting, for immediately after the patriarchs he places first Jesus, then Job, Jonah, Aaron, Solomon, and last of all David [Sura 4:161]. In another passage [Sura 6:84-86] the order is still more ridiculous, for here we have David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Zachariah, John, Jesus, Elijah, Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah, and Lot! The incorrect spellings of the names of these prophets, as well as the parts which [Muhammad] assigns to them in history, proves that he had never even looked into the Hebrew Scriptures. (Judaism and Islam, p. 19.)
