He has researched and found that quran was not actually written in Arabic..can any brother/sister verify??See Below from wikiChristoph Luxenberg is a retired university lecturer of Arabic language and holds a doctorate in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic" target="_blank">Semitic</a> languages from Heidelberg University <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christoph_Luxenberg#cite_note-0" target="_blank">[1]</a>. He is the author of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Syro-Aramaic_Reading_Of_The_Koran" target="_blank">The Syro-Aramaic Reading Of The Koran: a contribution to the decoding of the language of the Qur'an</a> (2007), and several articles in anthologies about early <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam" target="_blank">Islam</a>. Luxenberg came into the public eye in the years after 2000, following the publication of his first book (or at least the first one under this pseudonym) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Syro-Aramaic_Reading_Of_The_Koran" target="_blank">The Syro-Aramaic Reading Of The Koran</a> which asserted that the language of the early compositions of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qur%27an" target="_blank">Qur'an</a> was not exclusively Arabic, as assumed by the classical commentators, but rather is rooted in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syriac_language" target="_blank">Syro-Aramaic</a> dialect of the 7th century <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecca" target="_blank">Meccan</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quraysh" target="_blank">Quraysh</a> tribe which is associated in the early histories with the founding of the religion of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam" target="_blank">Islam</a>. Luxenberg’s premise is that the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramaic" target="_blank">Aramaic</a> language prevalent throughout the Middle East and during the early period of Islam was the language of culture and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian" target="_blank">Christian</a> liturgy and had a profound influence on the scriptural composition and meaning of the contents of the Koran. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christoph_Luxenberg#cite_note-1" target="_blank">[2]</a></blockquote>
