Variant Copies of the Koran thought to be lost, still exist

Sounds somewhat strange.
The last copies of 700AD manuscripts are hidden away for 60 years? All so that the Nazis can win favour with the Muslims.... Wow.



It's been known for a long time that modern Qurans don't agree with each other in every detail. This difference:

is small (where to split text into sentences) but the implications are large.

That seems to imply that someone learned it wrong. At least a little bit. Proof that whole chapters were written years after Mohammed would be of a different scale. When do the results of a study become known?

Not sure what the deal is. Seems the holder is restricting access to "approved" scholars, which seems to include a tacit agreement not to find anything dramatic during their research.
 
Are the Dead Sea Scrolls fully released? Any "hidden surprises" there? Aside from Jesus taking one look at Mary Magdaline and thinking, "Ya, I'd hit that."

According to the last thing I read, no they aren't. They aren't fully available to any researcher who wants them. Particularly, researchers who would use them to point out the changes in the bible are prevented from accessing them.
