Please provide proof that Prophet Muhammad said this.

Also, I have read the Quran many times. It was not as confusing for me. But maybe that is because I had teachers far more knowledgeable than I was explaining it to me. Those who do not understand it can read the footnotes of Yusuf Ali as he sometimes provides historical context. If you still don't understand it, but want to, its time to sit with a scholar and ask him or her. This is better than bashing the holy book for not making any sense and mocking our prophet for justifying seemingly arbitrary changes. Maybe there is something you overlooked or misunderstood so check your understanding of the Quran with one who understands Quranic arabic and islamic history. [/quote]
Do you question the existence of verses on abrogation?

The Quran was delivered to a largely illiterate population. It's preposterous to claim that a book like that requires scholarly commentary to be understood.

As it stands, you have a verse on abrogation in a book that's not arranged chronologically.  Not exactly a recipe for clarity, is it.

I thought one of the claims of Sunnis is that you DON'T need a priestly class to help you understand Islam. This is precisely because Mohammed was illiterate and the Quran, as God's words dictated directly to Mohammed, are perfect and perfectly clear on its own. The Sunnis think the Shias got this all wrong.[/quote]
Hush, woman! There's like thousands of people enrolled in King Abdulaziz University and other outfits like this. You want them all to go hungry? You want their families to starve?[/quote]
