Three short videos about the Qur'an

A YouTuber calling himself "Ozmoroid - pronounced Ahulzmoroiyd" has made a trilogy of short videos concerning the Qur'an (and also Islam a bit more generally). He has done a bit more study of the Qur'an than I have, and has the same motivations for studying it as I do for studying Islam in general. Namely, to see if Islam is or can be interpreted in a way that makes it compatible with 21st Century globa, secular, humanistic civilization. He's titled his videos as follows:

The Qur'an through godless eys

Part 1 - Introduction

Part 2 - The Good

Part 3 - The Bad

I highly recommend watching these videos.
