Think Progress says "Nope."

Imagine Marx and Engels had only written The Communist Manifesto and yet American liberals insisted Lenin was totally wrong and true Marxism does not at all teach world revolution.

Much as liberal theologians have sometimes argued that the virgin birth, the miracles of Jesus, his crucifixion, death, and resurrection, the promise of an eventual general resurrection, and the expectation of an imminent end of the world are not essential to Christianity.

But there is only one New Testament, and they are all there.

Why are these sensible analogies?

There is only one Koran.

It is what it is.
