It is so much easier to make an unsubstantiated claim than to disprove it. (And there exist an enormous number of baseless rumors in the secular and religious realm.) It is obviously vital that we build our faith on the solid ground of truth. I would be most grateful for anybody who can provide further information on any of the topics listed here or other scams, rumors and hoaxes relevant to Islam and Christianity that you are aware of. Please send us your information.

False claims about Islam:

• What about the Eagle Verse ... (or: Is the Invasion of American troops in Iraq found in the Qur'an?)
• Did Muhammad Plagiarize Imrau'l Qais?
• Material removed from the "Answering Islam" Site

Christian wishful thinking:

Also most of what comes under the claims of a mathematical miracle or scientific miracle of the Qur'an (or the Bible) certainly belongs in the section of hoaxes, and finds its fans among believers of (all?) religions, but certainly Jews, Muslims and Christians.
