Algiers — Amid reports that the Islamic State (ISIS) intends to rewrite and edit the Holy Qur’an, academics, scholars and religious leaders are voicing the need to confront the group on its ideological home turf.
According to Iraqi channel Afek, “The Islamic State organisation decided to rewrite the Qur’an, and delete some verses.”
Turkish daily Aydinlik also reported that ISIS had announced its intention to rearrange verses of the Qur’an.
The extremist group claims that the verses they want to delete were put in by “forgers”.

Amid calls for Islamic Reform, one would not have expected the same to have been proposed so swiftly by BadDaddy’s Islamic Hate.
The fate of the “B” guy himself is a mystery this week following reports of injury beneath aerial raids. Posted about 20 hours ago:
(CNN) — He’s enemy No. 1 in the fight against ISIS. But after waves of airstrikes by both Iraq and U.S.-led coalition forces, questions abound over whether the terror group’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was hit.
Iraq’s minister of defense, Khaled al-Obeidi, said on Facebook that al-Baghdadi was wounded in airstrikes in Mosul on Friday night and that his deputy, Musallam al-Turkmani, was killed.
But Iraq’s Interior Ministry said the Iraqi air force wounded al-Baghdadi in an airstrike Saturday not in Mosul, but in the Iraqi town of al-Qaim — about 400 kilometers (250 miles) away.

Taking a scholarly leap here, regarding the deletion of forgeries in the Qur’an. Within the Makki text are a few of what I call “fox-holed” Madani ayat – and vice versa. They are less than what is counted as the Al-Qudsi Ahadith, but they do exist. There are also a few ayat within the Qur’an which are considered to function as couplets of thought. So will the deletions be based on what does not fit the timeline of the greater Surah text regarding the Seerah of Muhammad and events which engulfed the nascent Muslim state?
Having read some of the I.S. “scholars” writings on jihad portals they are completely committed to their task of ascertaining the complexities of seventh century practices and intent on returning the greater population to the same. So the scrutiny is all about creating the environment they imagine existed centuries ago.
But when I see a man preachin’ with a microphone in one hand and a semi-automatic rifle in the other, I see a bully. This is the view, on the propaganda perch.
