If there were these many contradictions in the Quran, many people would be running around pointing them out!! But since you are dump and blind you can not see and reason and you are taking segments of the Quran out of contest here and there making them look and sound like there are contradicting each other. (Quran 2:269 ) He grants wisdom to whom He pleases; and He to whom wisdom is granted receives indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the message but men of understanding.

You should check to see if what they are saying is true or not before saying that they are not. In fact, why don't you show that the author is wrong? I challenge you to prove he is wrong.

39:45 When Allah, the one and only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the hereafter are filled with disgust and horror; but when gods other than he are mentioned, behold, they are filled with joy. 39:46 Say: O Allah, creator of the heavens and the earth. Knower of all that is hidden and open. It is you that will judge between your servants in those matters about which they have differed. 39:41 Truly we have revealed Al-Kitab to you in truth, for mankind. He, then, that receives guidance benefits his own soul: but he that strays injures his own soul. Nor are you set over them to dispose of their affairs
