There is a need for something that CAN'T HAPPEN. To do so is to renounce islam.
Which is to become an apostate - banished to death and to burn in hell.
Mainstream theologians are taking notice:
In the Muslim understanding, the Qur’an comes directly from God, unmediated.
Muhammad simply wrote down God’s eternal and immutable words as they were dictated to him by the Archangel Gabriel.
It cannot be changed, and to make the Qur’an the subject of critical analysis and reflection is either
to assert human authority over divine revelation (a blasphemy), or question its divine character.
Considered strictly on its own terms, Islam is not a tolerant religion and its capacity for far-reaching renovation is severely limited.

Kufr – unbelief
o8.0 Apostasy from Islam (Ridda) – Leaving Islam is the ugliest form of unbelief (kufr) and the worst.
o8.1 When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed.
Acts that Entail Leaving Islam (o8.7) are:
(2) To intend to commit unbelief
(3) to speak words that imply unbelief such as “Allah is the third of three,” or “I am Allah,”
(4) to revile Allah or His Messenger
(7) to deny any verse of the Koran or anything which by scholarly consensus belongs to it, or add a verse that does not belong to it
As for Judaism and Christianity:
Previously revealed religions were valid in their own eras, as is attested to by many verses in the Holy Koran, but were abrogated by the universal message of Islam, as is equally attested to by many verses of the Koran.
