Sure they can - and the longer the book the more "hidden messages" you can create from its contents. That's why the bible and the Qu'ran are so popular with "code" nutters.
<i>we are dealing with the true uncorrupted word of Allah Almighty.</i>
Oh? How do you know?

“Statistical Miracles of the Noble Quran”
First of all, the Quran was put together after Mohammad’s death by an early caliph
============================
P S:
This is Not true, the Quran was complete just before the death of the prophet Muhammad(pbuh).
=============================
Second, it was not put in chronological order, as given, but from longest to shortest suras
=============================
P S:
WRONG...the second surah in the Quran(the cow) is very long.
==============================
Third, there is no telling how much of the original was saved after the deaths of some of
those entrusted with it to memory or palm frond
==============================
p s:
back to my first answer.
==============================
Fourth, the fact that only the so-called original Arabic Quran is correct, implies to me that
it is an Arabic tool for conquest, which by the subsequent actions of its followers proves
me right, they didn’t send missionaries first, they sent conquerors to all ends of the earth
================================
P S:
WRONG AGAIN, it is well KNOWN historical fact that the muslim armies NEVER reached Indonesia and yet now indonesia is the BIGGEST MUSLIM COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WITH 200 MILLION MUSLIM !!!
Another example is the barbaric pagan tribes who invaded the muslim world in the 12th century, they were so brutal, they destroyed Baghadad totally, they were massively superior, if they wished, they could have forcefully converted muslims into their pagan religion, what happened howver is UNIQUE in history, for the first time in history an invading forces so superior CONVERT to the religion of the weaker invaded.......GO READ SOME HISTORY.
===================================
Fifth, any god that can only ‘speak’ Arabic, must be Arabic (as in a tribal god)
================================
P S:
Allah does not speak Arabic, speaking is HUMAN ATTRIBUTE and cant be applied on God, the Quran was revealed in Arabic because it was sent to the Arabs who were so corrupt, Islam message is UNIVERSAL and that's why we have 55 muslim countries span from INDONESIA IN THE EAST TO MOROCCO IN THE WEST.
==========================
Sixth, if there is no compulsion in religion, why can’t people leave islam without repercussion?
==========================
P S:
Did you ever see someone got killed for leaving islam ??
Every system has its own laws, if you desert the army in certain times you will be killed, so why this hypocrisy ???
==============================
Seven, if islam says that it is more correct than Judaism or Christianity because it came after
to correct them, then all later revelations can be the last, so that mormonism would be more
correct that islam? Since it is after?
==============================
P S:
This is nonesense, first of all, you cant compare small sect like the mormons to the largest Abrahimic religions.
Second, everyone who came after the prophet Muhammd claiming to be prophet has been proved to be liar either by studying their lives or reading about their ends ( the founder of the mormons cult is great example ).

back to my first answer.
I said the armies went out first, not “ONLY”, lets see to the West they ended up all across North Africa to Spain, stopped by Charles Martel at Pointers, France. To the North they ended up across to the doors of Constantinople stopped by what remained of the Byzantine Empire. To the South all across the Arabian Peninsula (stopped by the sea). To the East up to the steppe (where they womped the Chinese T’ang army). You can look up the years. The missionaries came later.

I know, Tamer lame did, but the Mongols, Turks & Tartars saw a true warriors religion when the saw it, so why shouldn’t they convert? You can steal, rape, pillage, all the name of religion, if you live, you are rich with plunder, if you die, whoa, you go to heaven, 70 virgins & paradise, who could refuse?

If it is so universal, why can't a Mexican like me see that? I see an oppresser religion, a cultural imperialist religion, a backward religion. Who has a so-called monthly fast, that only lasts during the daylight hours? Then the feast? Who makes suicide & murder a virtue? Who makes stealing & plunder from non-believers ok? Who makes lying to non-believers ok? Can you say “ISLAM”?

No, I don’t live in a muslim country, you can check it out for yourself, use your browser, be a brave Syrian!
==========================
Sixth, if there is no compulsion in religion, why can’t people leave islam without repercussion?
==========================
P S:
Did you ever see someone got killed for leaving islam ??
So, you admit it’s an army? People can leave Christianity, Judaism, whatever here, if you live in Syria, do an experiment, tell every body that you have left Islam for Christianity, lets see how long you last? Are you a Brave Syrian?
Every system has its own laws, if you desert the army in certain times you will be killed, so why this hypocrisy ???
Hey, islam had a small start too, how can you tell that it isn’t the “TRUE” religion? What is your criteria? How can you tell truth from error? What if God had really made Christianity the true religion & you couldn’t tell?
==============================
Seven, if islam says that it is more correct than Judaism or Christianity because it came after

==============================
P S:
This is nonesense, first of all, you cant compare small sect like the mormons to the largest Abrahimic religions.
So how does Mohammad stack up to Jesus, the Buddha, and J. Smith? What criteria do you use? Was not Mohammad a murderer, a thief, a bandit, a terrorist, a deceiver? a warlord? a polygamist? a child molester? Where was his purity? His compassion? His mercy?
Second, everyone who came after the prophet Muhammd claiming to be prophet has been proved to be liar either by studying their lives or reading about their ends ( the founder of the mormons cult is great example ).

Oh right !!! sanitized version of history is what ISLAMOPHOBES usually read.

================================
P S:
Again you are showing deep bias against the history of Islam, muslim armies went there to crush the romans and the Spanish who were threatning and murdering Muslims.
So, I did not hear a single word from you about INDONESIA AND MALAYSIA and how they became muslims !!! could it be you dont have an answer ??
Anyway, to read about this famous myth that Islam spread by sword, check this out:

================================
P S:
What kind of nonesense is that ?? the Mongols and the Turks and the Tatar were killing murdering and plundering BEFORE they converted to Islam, they dont need Islam, yet THEY CONVERTED and their conversion transformed them into CIVILIZED NATIONS..
stop parroting this myth about the 72 virgins...it is utter lie, nothing in Islam about virgins...LOL
=================================

==================================
P S:
Hang on a second !! are you saying Islam make it ok to steal and plunder and lie to non-believer ??? SHOW ME WHERE IN THE QURAN ALLAH ALMIGHTY ORDERED MUSLIMS TO DO THAT ???
Stop being brainwashed by lies and myths....
Islam is SPREADING IN MEXICO SO FAST...YOU JUST NEED TO ASK THOSE MEXICANS WHY ON EARTH THEY ARE CONVERTING TO '' BACKWARD''' RELIGION:

I gave example of the army and if you desert the army in certain times you will be killed....there are some misguided people who leave Islam, NOTHING HAPPEN to them....show me EVIDENCE, SHOW ME LINKS....I DONT ACCEPT HEARSAY MR.PARROT.
================================
Hey, islam had a small start too, how can you tell that it isn’t the “TRUE” religion? What is your criteria? How can you tell truth from error? What if God had really made Christianity the true religion & you couldn’t tell?
=============================
P S:
Islam is the true religion because it is the fastest growing religion in the WORLD, muslims are now 2 BILLION and growing, churches in Europe are being sold to muslims to convert them into mosques....
==================================
So how does Mohammad stack up to Jesus, the Buddha, and J. Smith? What criteria do you use? Was not Mohammad a murderer, a thief, a bandit, a terrorist, a deceiver? a warlord? a polygamist? a child molester? Where was his purity? His compassion? His mercy?

"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level." Michael H. Hart, THE 100: A RANKING OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTORY, New York: Hart Publishing Company, Inc., 1978, p. 33.
"I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today."
George Bernard Shaw, THE GENUINE ISLAM, Vol. 1, No. 81936.
"He was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope's pretensions, Caesar without the legions of Caesar: without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue; if ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by the right divine, it was Mohammed, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports."
Bosworth Smith, MOHAMMAD AND MOHAMMADANISM, London, 1874, p. 92.
