Then you have different Qurans over there than we have here. You are right, the first sura is the exception fromt he rule (as I said earlier I cut this short and leave out details), but from the second on until the end, the longest are at the beginning, and shortest at the ending, and from beginning to end they become shorter. In the last qurater of the Quran you even have verses that give the impression to be incomplete, unfinished, and scribbled down carelessly as if in a hurry.

More insightful analysts also would line out that the langauge chnages from the beginning to the end, the suras whose origin lies in muhammad's later years in Medina,are said to be written in a different, briefer, shorter, more craelss style, than the early Suras from the time in Mekka. Well, I cannot judge that. I only see that it is as if there are more and more "holes" in the later Suras.

I own one Quran, and saw several others. Also, my claim is not only supported by these, but in secondary literature as well. If your Quran is diffrent, than you have a manipulated version. These versions exist, they differ in translation by using euphemisms that in orginal quran sound more harsh and brutal, and even have whole passages and paragraphs deleted. Usually these are being distributed at missionary desks in the pedestrian zone. They have a deceptive, lulling function. Even in Islam their distribution sometimes is being disputed. Some say it is okay since it helps to make islam accepted and spread it, others say it is a sacrileg. I say it is an act of deception.

It's been a long while since I saw one of these missionary stands. Good.
