Koran Textual Criticism 3 – Inheritance (3.2011)<br /><br />A look at how the god in Islam handles fractions – and fails. <br />The problem is that fractions are always part of a full something.<br />Mathematically, 9/3 or nine thirds are possible because this represents the number 3.<br />But if the estate of a deceased is to be distributed using fractions, increasing the existing estate is not possible.<br />Changing the various amounts is also not an option because the god of Islam clearly states that 3 daughters are to receive 2/3 or two thirds. Adjusting this to 16/27 makes it mathematically compatible – but contradicts the wishes of a god.<br />
