With regard to infallibility, [b]Muslims need[/b] to acknowledge the way the Quran was put together--on friable materials and in a Persian hand--means that the Quran as it is put together today most certainly is not exactly what Mohammed recited to his followers.  And then there is the problem of discerning the meaning of words that are 1400 years old.  Biblical scholars are in the constant process of re-evaluating what certain things in the Bible meant in the language of the time and this feeds into renewed understanding of its passages.  Islam today is very closed to such a process and [b]needs to[/b] open up, rather than saying this was all decided by theologians in the first 300 hundred years of Islam and not subject to further interpretation.

There are two amazing aspects to this paragraph:  1) that you presume to tell an entire religion what it "needs" to do; and 2) that much of what you say "needs" to happen is happening and that you are not aware of it.
