Look at the name of their little facebook clique. "New Testament Textual Criticism." You're threatening the very basis for their existence. The thought of a single text (gasp) shakes them to their core. What, pray tell, would we need their ingenious minds for, if there were a text like the Muslims have ? The Muslims have no textual criticism cliques on facebook. They have a single text without any variation. They can feel confident that the Koran they read today, is the same text as was read by their great-great-great-grandparents. They can feel confident that every other Muslim is reading the exact same text.
God forbid that we Christians should have a single authoritative original text. They would be out of their "ivory towers", and have to go out and debate subjects that are tougher than which Uncial manuscript is superior Attic Greek.
