    also most arabs was worshipping multiple gods like el lat and el ouzza and not christianity.

    that’s false, Christianity was widespread among Arabs in the Levant, Najran (South Saudi Arabia) and in Beth Qatarya (Eastern Arabia from Kuwait to UAE)

    the Kaaba 🕋 had murals of Jesus and Mary inside of it that Muhammad didn’t object to or ask to be defaced, mentioned in tradition but the murals have been lost as the Kaaba was rebuilt many times over the years

    The polytheism or shirk mentioned in the Quran was not paganism, but syncretic Christianity that developed in Arabia with elements of Arabian paganism, not unlike what happened with Christianity elsewhere. Brigid the Celtic goddess becoming a Christian saint. The Quran spends more time arguing with Christians than with pagans, makes it clear who the target audience was.

    The level of arabic in quoran is extraordinary

    poems are harder to write than prose, the Quran is in prose

      While there where whole tribes of christian and jews, it’s true that the majority of arabs worshiped other gods. Shirk is worshipping any god other than the god mentionned in the coran, bible and torah.
