Q7:157 - question for dhimmi no more

While browsing the internet, I came across this article, and it reminded me of what you had written regarding Q7:157.

http://www.answering-islam.org/Shamoun/unlettered_prophet.htm

It argues and agrees with a few points that you brought up - that Mohammed was not illiterate, that "ummi" does not mean illiterate, not to mention, was the "prophet" of Q7:157 Mohammed or not.

I thought this article was interesting. I wondered what you would think of it.

It's a bit long, but at least I was hoping to know what you think of these guys' application of Arabic to Q7:157.

Thanks in advance.
