Dear KA & Iyer, In Koran, every reader is given Independence to research and get benefitted, but not allowed to ADD or DELETE a verse.. I will tell you the difference between Hindus using Vedas and Muslims using Koran... Let us take the example of FOOT BALL game, the creator of the game, tells us clearly the Dos and DONTs of the game, then it is upto the Players to learn creatively by abiding the Rules.. That is what Islam says, it does not say don't do anything creative, but it says abide by the rules... In case of Hinduism, there are No clear Dos and DONTs, which meand somebosy will change the rules of the game by Handling the Ball... This is not Creativity, this is Breaking the Rules... So my suggestion, you have full Independence to Research Vedas but you dont have any authority to change, if you beleive it is a Word of God.. Hope you Understand the Difference between Creativity and Breaking a Rule... Ibrahim
