The oldest existing Quran which was kept in Egypt showed corrections. Scans found erased words that showed editing. The claims that there is only one version of their holy book is a lie. You can buy online right now, I believe over 30 versions of the book.
Basically, after the Arabs conquered such a huge territory, they felt they needed ideological legitimacy over people they ruled over. So they took the faith of the Jews and Christians, who were managing the regions of the Arabic empire for them, and annexed the holy books. Created the super saint/prophet and called him the last one.
A pop culture analogy would be Disney taking over Lucas Films and telling fans... This is the new Star Wars now.
It's a deep rabbit hole. And they will kill you for saying all these things.
I am no expert but these are the people/channels that deliver valuable information about the faith.
Their own writing contradicts themselves. In fact, there's even the issue with the Satanic Verses. I believe it was in Leviticus that said that a prophet that speaks for someone other than God is a false prophet. Because Islam connects itself to the Bible and Torah, it was found in the Quran that Muhammad quoted a pagan god and later apologized that he had a moment when he was influenced by the devil. False prophet. Salman Rushdie wrote about it and has a death warrant for it.
Historians have found no evidence that Mohammed exists.
There have been no historical record of his existence outside of Islamic scholars. Unlike Jesus who was recorded by Romans. Writings of Muhammad by Islamic scholars only existed 200 years after his supposed existence. No one who knew him personally ever wrote something about him.
There were no people called Muslims during the time Muhammad was supposed to exist. Although Christians didn't exist until after Christ as well.
The earliest Mosques were not pointed towards Mecca in Saudi. They were pointed towards Petra in Jordan.. Even the descriptions of mountains, olive trees, a stream before their temple.... all points to Jordan.

It was a remnant from pagan worship. When they created the new religion, they couldn't take away everything from the people. So they assimilated the culture into the ritual.
It is a meteorite. The practice was to find the shiniest stone and replace it whenever a better one was found.

Just watch those two channels. I don't know much. Just watch more.
