Reply #92: The Qur'an and infidels... [View All]

[Violet_Crumble]

I figure if I as an atheist could read through the Yusuf Ali translation of the Qur'an and suss out pretty early on that infidels were the pagans of the time that Muhammed unified the Arab tribes against, and that Christians and Jews were 'People of the Book', who were treated very differently to the pagans, then I wonder why those imans don't notice that very obvious point. My guess is that they're closely related to the Christian whackadoodles who use the bible to justify whatever sick stance they decide to take on things...

What is the 'true Islam'? I suspect it's contained in the Qur'an, and in the life of the prophet Muhammed. Nowhere there will you find anything that would lead to the conclusion that it's acceptable to commit terrorist acts against innocent people, nor will you find anything that would lead to women in Saudi Arabia not being allowed to drive...

btw, having travelled with my highlighter through both the bible and the qur'an marking all the bloodthirsty bits, the bible wins hands down on the cruel and bloodthirsty side of things...
