Found.
QUOTE While the pages are dated between the years 568 AD and 645 AD, though, Muhammad is generally believed to have lived between 570 AD and 632 AD. This means that that pages actually pre-date the man known as "The Prophet."
"It destabilizes, to put it mildly, the idea that we can know anything with certainty about how the Koran emerged," said Tom Holland, a historian, in an interview with Birmingham Mail. "That in turn has implications for the historicity of Muhammad and the Companions (his followers)."
Granted, you're only talking a few years here, but it means there's no way in hell it was written more than a handful of years after his death. The first books of the New Testament waited at least 70 years after Jesus's death before they started poking up.

Yeah but the Mormons didn't have standing orders to kill anyone who disrespects Smith, and this discovery suggests Muhammad plagiarized shit. I think, I only skimmed. I'm sure Catt will correct me if I am wrong.

QUOTE was that a shot at or support for my comment? I honestly read it both ways. It was purposefully vague. I didn't agree, though. A few ripples as the Muslim world prepares to ignore it forever seem much more likely.
Was it the peaceful and tolerant way Muslims have responded to slights against their religion in the past that gave you pause?
I don't even need to do the "every other word is a link" thing to back up my point.
I mean, ISIS is currently destroying every bit of history they can get their hands on and murdering historians.
While my statement was meant as humor, it would not shock me if something bad happens to the men/women behind that report.

Our government is unwilling to do what has to be done to fix it, so why bother caring? Waste of energy.
