Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Hadid).
I don't think the author is being entirely honest.

Wow a Wiki article in which almost every single piece of information is derived from numerology.
And people say you shouldn't trust Wikipedia :rolleyes:
I think there's another thread on this already.

Hmm, I see now that maybe I should've posted this in the GRD forum.

That's easy enough to fix. Moving from S&S.

Careful - you don't want 'Armyrifle' coming after you! Your comment was something of a contrast to 'his'. He might want to come round and offer you the peaceful blessings of Allah and the Prophet, in 7.62 x 39mm form!

I tend to find a lot of comparisons between wikipedia and scribblings on the walls of public bathrooms.
You don't know the mental state of who wrote it, how reliable the information happens to be, and whether or not he was wearing pants at the time...

That business of "miracles in the Qur'an" is, in my opinion, about as tiring, boring, and "whack-a-mole"-ish as creationism. I've written a (partially) completed article about the absurdity of all of it... perhaps I'll contribute it to the SecWeb library when it's finished.
The wiki article is dubious because it was probably edited by a Muslim not adhering to the NPOV rules. You'll find the same for countless other articles, or, for more relevant issues, countless other Islamic articles.
