Two of the most obvious mistakes in the Koran is that Christians worship Jesus as the biological son of God and that Jews worship Ezra as the biological son of God. Islamic apologists often try to say that there was Gnostic Christians that believed Jesus was the biological son of God and therefore that is why that is in the Koran. The only problem with this argument is that none of the know Gnostic groups believed that. Additionally their presence in Arabia is pure conjecture. The bigger problem though is the statement that Jews worshiped Ezra as the biological son of God. No matter how you look at this statement it is wrong. The Jews never worshiped Ezra as Orthodox Christians worship Jesus and they never worship Ezra as the biological son of God. There has never been any group of Jews, heretical or otherwise, who worshiped Ezra as the Son of God. If the Koran was the creation of Allah you would think he would at least know what it is that the Jews believed. If Allah didn't even know what it was that the Jews believe then the Koran is not the creation of God, but of Muhammad which makes Islam a lie.
A great article on the subject was written at: http://answering-islam.org/Responses/Saifullah/ezra.htm
