Salam,
I came across this article. It is a 25 page read. It is worth your while. It effects the lives of Muslims in this gloabalized world. In summary, there is a movement the state department, the rand corporation,etc. to secularize islam and think of the quran not as a divine work but a social work to be taken in a contextual sense i.e a historical work of man. Please read.
Be mindful this is 25 pages. It is not light but it is factual.
