Are the Neighbors REALLY the Neighbors?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Remember that Mohammed grew up in a Christianized society. The Koran 
takes some divergent paths from Orthodox Christianity but, for example, 
it accepts the virgin birth of Jesus as a given. If the Koran has a 
conceptual error regarding Moses, it probably came from Christians.
