Regarding the claim of divine origin, critics refer to preexisting sources, not only taken from the Bible, supposed to be older revelations of God, but also from heretic, apocryphic and talmudic sources, such as the Syriac Infancy Gospel and Gospel of James. The Quran acknowledges that accusations of borrowing popular ancient fables were being made against Muhammad.[234] Due to its rejection of the Crucifixion of Jesus, some scholars also suspect influences by Manichaeaism, a dualistic religion believing in two eternal forces, on the Quran. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a program that plans to rewrite the Quran, and has also banned Quran mobile apps.[235][236]
