Nobody cares about the true word of the Koran. Nobody wants a thesis on accuracy of interpretation.

What matters is the most accessible, loudest voice in the space. Just like fake news, accessibility and network effects are the only things that matter. The demand is for one particular religion to acknowledge and tame the spread of this loud, violent "fake" religion/interpretation, if you will

There are millions that do and thousands of great academic scholars who strive for that. I went to seminary and studied for over 5 years Greek and Hebrew so I could know better, but the issue is MOST don't care. They care more about what so and so says.
