Now, that is interesting.

Muslims raise exactly this point as one of their criticisms
towards Christianity and Judaism.  The Quran, they say, is written
in heaven, and the angel only delivered it to Mohamad.  But in contrast,
the Torah and the New Testament were written by human agents.

I wonder, from where did they got the idea? Or, did they thought
of it independently?
And when was it first appeared among Muslims?


Ah! Was this really since so many days ago!...
