That region needs the strongest kind of despots to keep various tribes from warring constantly. Only written works that jive with despots have survived.

Because according to Islamic tradition humans kept fucking it up every time the message got sent down. God decided enough was enough

You ain't shit unless you're part of Five-Percent Nation. The elite of Muhammad's followers and the only people who truly matter to Jehovah.

But its all made up anyway, might as well read for the prose or historical impact

Because The Quran tells a man how to live and gives mere instructions (most of the time, compared to the bible), but not how to imagine/philosophize or to criticize ideas in a way that forms an independent person. This is orthodox muslims are mostly extremists.

Not him, but the King James bible is considered the most poetic and beautiful translation of all. Maybe that is why it is not the most accurate, but it still retains the message, for sure.
