Dear friends,***
ALLAH bless you all,
**The other day I was surfing the net and found an article. at answering-islam.de/Main/Green/seven.htm by Samuel Green ( more enthusiastic version at bible.ca/islam/islam-quran-changed-20-versions.htm} . In this article Samuel claims that( Naoozobillah) Quran has different versions of its Arabic text, therefore one cannot asserts that Quran has been remained unchanged after 1500 years .He has shown some examples to the readers to give more weight to his claim.( you must read the reply made by M S M Saifullah at Reply To Samuel Green's "The Seven Readings Of The Qur'an" and .islamic-awareness.org/Quran/Text/Qiraat/hafs.html
When I finished reading that specious article, I felt pity for Mr. Samuel Green. who seems to be gone insane in his grudge against Islam.What did I gather from the particular Samuel’s article is that he is also among those Christian activists those want to get grandeur out of nothing but word-coining .To the Muslims of the world Samuel , through this article , want to present a heart breaking fact about Quran but in reality he testify the following Hadith. The matter is that ALLAH’ planning is unprecedented, sometim a non-believer preaches Islam unwillingly
*** Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith***
Hadith 6.514 [size=3]Narrated by
Umar bin Al Khattab
I heard Hisham bin Hakim reciting Surat Al-Furqan during the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle and I listened to his recitation and noticed that he recited in several different ways which Allah’s Apostle had not taught me. I was about to jump over him during his prayer, but I controlled my temper, and when he had completed his prayer, I put his upper garment around his neck and seized him by it and said, “Who taught you this Sura which I heard you reciting?” He replied, “Allah’s Apostle taught it to me.” I said, “You have told a lie, for Allah’s Apostle has taught it to me in a different way from yours.” So I dragged him to Allah’s Apostle and said (to Allah’s Apostle),“I heard this person reciting Surat Al-Furqan in a way which you haven’t taught me!” On that Allah’s Apostle said, “Release him, (O 'Umar!) Recite, O Hisham!” Then he recited in the same way as I heard him reciting. Then Allah’s Apostle said, “It was revealed in this way,” and added, “Recite, O 'Umar!” I recited it as he had taught me. Allah’s Apostle then said, “It was revealed in this way. This Qur’an has been revealed to be recited in seven different ways, so recite of it whichever (way) is easier for you (or read as much of it as may be easy for you).”[/size]
Samuel Green’s frustration which is revealed by his outright deception can be perceived if you gather the statistics of Non-Muslims converting to Islam, rapidly recognizing the truthfulness of Islam and they now becoming aware of the fact that Quran is indeed the "word of ALLAH " and has been remained unchanged after fifteen centuries because ALLAH has taken up the duty to guard it.
Surah Al-Hijr ,Surah 15,Ayah# 9
We have without doubt sent down the Message( Quran); and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).
As far as the growth of Islam is concerned, see below some links (out of thousands ,and try to understand what trauma Christian missionaries are suffering after facing this reality about Islam’s growth.

2 The number of Hispanic Americans converting to Islam is growing rapidly — particularly in New York, California, Texas and Florida, which have the greatest concentration of Hispanic residents. Muslim leaders say interest in Islam has increased in the past few years, and they also note that Muslims and Hispanics, many of whom are immigrants, share a number of common concerns. Steve Mort reports from a mosque in Florida that has seen a steady increase in Latino worshippers. | Thoughts Of A Conservative Christian
