[snip for focus]

But recall that you brought up abrogation in response to my mention of
Sura
2:256, and if you don't think that abrogation is one of the "basic
teachings
of Islam,"

I don't. I don't think I said that, but If I did, I apologize, and
retract it.

then on what basis can you or anyone else (e.g., Muslim fanatics)
deny such verses that status?

On the basis that it is contradicted by numerous later verses in the
Koran,
numerous hadith, and the historical record of Mohammed's life and the
spread of Islam.


But why do you consider the contradictions to be "basic teachings," and
deny
that status to verses like Sura 2:256? Why not say that some of the basic
teachings of Islam contradict each other?
