In their rebuttal, the clerics pointed to the Koranic verses that state \u201cthis is a book we have sent down to you (O Muhammad).\u201d They ask, Don\u2019t these verses imply that God is the revealer and Muhammad the receiver? They also point out that there were times when Muhammad waited impatiently for the revelation to come to him and that in more than 300 cases the prophet is commanded to tell his people to do one thing or another. This demonstrates, the argument goes, that the commands are coming from elsewhere rather than from the heart or the mind of the prophet himself.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Soroush, in turn, responds by saying that the prophet was no parrot. Rather, Soroush told me, he was like <\/em><strong><em>a bee who produces honey itself<\/em><\/strong><em>, even though the mechanism for making the honey is placed in him by God. This is \u201cthe example the Koran itself sets,\u201d says Soroush, citing the Koran: \u201cAnd your Lord inspired to the bee: take for yourself among the mountains, houses . . . then eat from all the fruits . . . there emerges from their bellies a drink . . . in which there is healing for people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mehr <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2008\/12\/07\/magazine\/07wwln-essay-t.html?ref=magazine\">hier<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Im Times Magazine berichtet Mohammad Ayatollahi Tabaar \u00fcber die Kontroverse um Abdolkarim Soroush im Iran: Soroush said that \u201cwhen you read the Koran, you have to feel that a human being is speaking to you, i.e. the words, images, rules and regulations and the like all are coming from a human mind.\u201d He added, \u201cThis [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[157,166],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-die-freunde-und-die-feinde-des-islams","category-iran"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Der Koran als Menschenwerk?
