And as an ex-Muslim hater, I am quite familiar with the usual stance and tactics used by the anti-Muslim crowd. And some of your posts strongly resemble them.
Your idea of "universal brotherhood" seems rosy but it fails to work in the real world... unless you expect Muslims to accept "universal brotherhood" with the same people who bash them for their faith. Muslims also believe in "universal brotherhood" but within the boundaries of faith.
As difficult as it may be for you, as illustrated by your words, I kgnow that all humans are FIRST and FOREMOST my universal brethren. The faith and religion of others is as superficial to me as skin color, land of origin, or nationality.

Had the Koran been so "corrupted", Islam would not have lasted so long, let alone go on to become the second largest religion in the world today

as some of the people that have tried to disprove you but I think its obvious that they have not
I said no one has disproved his claims yet .
...then figure it out and address the OP
OP would only be left with one page of stated facts .
If the documents were collected and burned or destroyed like the op has shown ,then that should raise the question as to why ? They were after all closer to the time of the originals .
Why destroy the originals and create something new claiming to be the original ?..
You cant have it both ways ...Saying there are 7 things and only having one thing seems to come short in answering what those other 6 things may have said .

You seem to think that the originals were all destroyed and a completely new one was written.
That is not the case. It would have been impossible for one man to fool the hundreds of the others who had memorized the Koran.

The 7 had to do with dialect and translation... there were NO contradictions with regard to the actual theological message, as the OP is trying to imply and as you have come to believe.
Google 7 ahruf and click on an Islamic site for an explanation... that is, if you sincerely want a Muslim take on this matter. Here is one Muslim site
If you believe a former Christian who spent a few years as a Muslim would have a better answer... go with the OP. It doesn't change reality.
Well i followed your link and there blaming dialect for the differences again and the op has showed us that isnt the case.
Are you going to address the fact that there are different versions? Or just ignore the facts and say well there not really different there kind of the same??
Nor does what you have said on this thread change the facts of what the OP has posted .Its the facts in the OP that are to be refuted ,which you have not done .

He didn't "show" anything. He has simply concluded for himself, using his own standards - that the Koran is "corrupt".

You seem to have a lot of faith in the OP.
If one wants to learn Islam from an anti-Islamic, he might as well go learn the theory of evolution from a young earth creationist.
Anyway, to answer your question about the versions (ahrufs) OP himself says in this postthat nobody knows what the 7 ahrufs were.
However, the existence of 7 ahrufs don't automatically point to "corruption". That's a non-sequitor.
We can deduce that they made no real difference because NO Muslims argued over the actual theological content of the Koran. So the fact that 7 ahrufs existed are irrelevant.

You call this thread "BS" and "TROLL",..... but you did not provide any source-evidence to rebut or debate not even a single point made in this thread. There are many points made here, I have referenced Qur'an, Authentic Ahadith, historic record, and the statements of caliphas, sahaba, and Islamic scholars,.... you provided nothing.
Assalamu alaikum.
