Nibleys Contradictions in Islam

In 1972, religious studies professor Hugh Nibley's wrote a comparative studies article contrasting Islam to Mormonism, but he got hung up on seemingly numerous theological contradictions within that religion.
== Similarities ==
The article begins briefly on their amazing instance of similarity, as both Mormonism or Islam or rather unique cases of religion founded based on an angel delivering new scripture to a holy prophet. But after that one point, the two religious take off in dramatically different directions.

Can a non-believer ask a question about something in Islam that appears confusing?
# Mohammed's The Last Prophet Controversy The Koran goes to great lengths to explain the need for Allah to call a prophet to reveal his work in perfect form, but then slams the door shut saying there can be no more prophets and thus Islam is left permanently fractured between multiple sects that are interpreting the word of God with no clear path to resolving their disputes. Multiple Imans issuing multiple and contradictory edicts and no way for the common man to tell which one is supposed to be correct.
# Islam's Great Council in Heaven - The Koran tells how at a great council held in the heavens at the creation of the earth God set forth the plan of salvation. Yet the Koran does not tell us what this plan is and what it's value to us is? How can a theology be "wholly revealed" if the history of God and why he created the world is not fully revealed?
# Did Mohammed talk to God? - While most biblical prophets witnessed that they spoke directly with God to receive his word. Mohammed says he only talked to Angel.
# Christ Prophet / Not Son of God - Islam teaches that Jesus Christ was a divine prophet but then denies the divinity of the two most remarkable aspects of his teachings which led to the fast rise of Christianity worldwide - Christmas (virgin birth of Christ as the Son of God) and Easter (the atonement, crucifixition and resurrection of Christ as the Son of God).
