BRITAIN-RELIGION-ISLAM-HISTORY

Marie Sviergula, conservator of the University of Birmingham holds a Koran mauscript in Birmingham England on July 22, 2015. A Koran manuscript has been carbon dated to close to the time of the Prophet Mohammed, making it one of the oldest in the world, a British university said today. The two leaves of parchment, filled with "surprisingly legible" text from Islam's holy book, have been dated to around the early seventh century, the University said.
