If anyone wants to discuss the 'Qur'an in chronological order', we can do that here without junking up my thread.
The Qur'an of today was put together in the 9th century and possibly by people who couldn't read.
It was arranged from longest Sura to shortest.
This creates many, many, problems.
I've always found that amusing. The reason it was eventually compiled into written form was that those who memorized it from the beginning were dying off (actually still in the 7th century - History of the Quran - Wikipedia), and errors were creeping into recitations of it. Here's the funny part - mere humans had to save God from his own lack of foresight and bad planning. Apparently the creator of the universe who knows all things didn't figure out that people would screw up verbal-only transmission of the Qur'an, so they had to step in and write it down for him.
And the compilation order is a joke. It starts with an small introductory surah of 7 verses and then completely skips the first 12 years of futility in Mecca and jumps right into a Medinan surah. Having read the Qur'an in chronological order, I can see why the first 86 surahs were shuttled back in the lineup. They were BORING as hell and mind bendingly repetitive. Nobody interested in investigating Islam would have stayed with it long enough to get to the "kill them where you find them" bits.
Your title is interesting enough in a way but the content is nonexistent. You speak without saying anything. That might be why no one is replying to you. Or it could be because you're a troll.

How many times are you going to post this thread?
I decided to summarize the Qur'an in chronological order for my own interest, and then thought I might as well share it here in case anyone wanted to read it. I'm almost done. Only 40 verses to go.
Why this fascination with the Quran?
So it's all for purely altruistic reasons and not for money?I think the growing influence of Islam is going to be a major factor in the world, and I want to know what we're in for. Well, maybe not 'we', but my grandchildren.
The first thing I learned is that Islam is NOT our friend, and the second thing I learned is that there are many Islamopropagandists out there who lie to us about what Islam teaches. The biggest lie is that Islam is a religion of peace.

Another entirely irrelevant reply from youAnd for money, the religion was created for stealing from others, with shares going to the deserving.
I would like to summarize it into, Islam is "one big lie', however that is misleading.
It is actually one lie after another, after another.
All the way from the beginning of recorded history in the area, which fabricates pre-history.
All through the life of Big Mo, and into the present day.
In fact, there is nothing about the religion that can be considered the truth.

actually Islam is, "The religion of peace", however what they don't tell you, ( Kitman, lying by omission), is that the peace comes only after they kill everyone else,
And all the world if for Islam.
However there are some monkey wrench's in their logic.
They need a population of slaves, non-muslims.
They also need to figure out which branch of Islam will survive, remember they are killing each other.
It was a perfectly clear question in perfectly clear English..What do you mean?

Maybe. It’s hard to predict the future. However, I think a couple of big trends are different now than in the past and will probably keep that from happening. In the past, the only way anyone would get anything was to kill everyone else and take their stuff. It’s all anyone could do to get ahead in the world, whether it was the Vikings, the Mongolian invasions, Alexander the great, the Muslims, or the European colonialists. There was just a limited amount of pie, and if you wanted more, you had to take other people’s’.
A big change since industrialization though is that we are realizing that by trade and stability, we can all actually help grow the pie bigger for all of us. That’s the whole idea behind economic growth that has made such a change in the world system 19th century. If you want to kill your neighbors, you may be killing your best customers. That’s a good incentive not to kill them. If these Muslims kill too many Westerners, who’s going to buy their oil?
As far as their religion, they’ll figure out a way to interpret it properly to have it work out economically for them a little better. Religious people always find clever ways to interpret their scriptures to have it come out just right.
