Personally I’m calling hoax on this one.  It appears there is a baby in Russia who seems to have verses from the Koran randomly appearing on it’s skin.

Yeah.. Honestly I think it’s horrible that the kid has to suffer so the parents can get attention.. Messiah Complex Via Proxy, perhaps..

1: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If it does what it says, you should have no problem with this.
2: What proof will you accept that you are wrong? You ask us to change our mind, but we cannot change yours?
3: If a conspiracy theory stopped at one claim, they might be believable. However, in the search for ‘truth’, conspiracies will expand their claims to encompass many other claims.

What part of ‘meow’ don’t you understand?

There is a huge difference between a mark that looks like a heart compared to a whole series of exact detailed reproductions of Quran verses appearing and disappearing.  That pushes it to such far extermes of coincidence that it can’t really be coincidence.  And I really doubt that Allah would go around making verses appear on some baby, so that leaves hoax.

Hey, Jesus is going around making his image appear on toast. Allah has to do something to catch up.

No, Allah would just start performing miracles involving falafel.

I also believe it’s a hoax. If they took the kid and put him in a room and then the verses appeared without anyone doing anything to him, then I would be shocked, otherwise, this just points to hoax.
