Having looked at the history of how the Qur'an was put together, and having looked at the 6 earliest manuscript, which included the Topkapi, the Sammarqand, the Ma'il, the Husaini, the Petropolitanus, and the Sana'a manuscripts, Hatun and Jay now look at intentional changes within these earliest manuscripts.

Using Dr Dan Brubaker's doctoral research, they looked at 7 different areas of intentional changes which include words and phrases which were inserted (390 examples), erased (390 examples), erased then overwritten (560 examples), overwritten without erasing (190 examples), covering (550 examples), coverings then rewritten (210 examples), and tapings, which totalled 2,200 intentional changes!

They pointed out that all of these 2,200 intentional changes were not due to diacritical marks (the dots above and below the letters), nor were they due to vowellization (the 'dhamma', the 'fatha', and the 'kasrah' marks), nor were they due to the 'daggar alif', but were all changes in the consonental text (the rasm), so that in each case they change the meaning of the sentences. Numerous examples of these changes were shown by Jay and Hatun from the ladder.

They finally concluded that these intentional changes, coupled with the historical problems of the Qur'ans compilation, coupled with the differences between the earliest 6 manuscripts proved that the Qur'an was:

1) Not eternal
2) Not sent down to Muhammad
3) Not compiled completely by Uthman
4) Not unchanged today

Thus, with the material Jay and Hatun have introduced in these three videos on the 6 Manuscripts of the Qu'ran, they have proven that the Qur'an does not come from god, but comes from finite man, who began compiling it in the early 8th century, and then continued to insert words, erase words, cover and tape over other words and phrases, up until at least the 9th or 10th century, and then finally compiled it in its final 'canonized' form in 1924, just 93 years ago!
