What a statement. You have never read the Koran, beyond doubt, else you would not have written this. You seem to be creating the appearance above that you’ve read the Koran, which cannot be the case. Maybe you read a few short excerpts thus making it easy to miss the point?
I have read at least 2/3 of it, not the entirety (as generally the “poetry” parts were tedious to me) and the above comment is just so far off base as to be unbelievable. It’s full of instructions to kill all who do not submit to Islam, and full of murderous examples. It’s a main theme. Mohammed himself was a mass murderer according to the account of the Koran. Notable mass murders being of an entire large assembly of people in a caravan, so as to steal their goods, and a large number of Jews, simply for being Jewish. Anyone who wants to follow the example of Mohammed can really only do so by being a murderer, killing people as he did.
What’s the #1 way to please their God, moreso than anything else can? Why, killing an “unbeliever.”
“Peaceful?” Um, how about “not.”
You are aware that almost every shooting war in the world today has Muslims on at least one side? Why is that, pure coincidence?
Why would anyone claim the Koran “sends a peaceful message?” Other than perhaps being a victim of disinformation from the “politically correct,” wherein any group opposed to America is to be admired and apologized for, the more opposed the more admired and more apologized for? There are people like this, and so of course, those who have the major goal of their life killing “unbelievers,” especially Americans, ought to be praised and defended. I doubt you are that way, but only from such a facts-reversing bias could your source have possibly written or told you that the Koran “sends a very peaceful message.” Yeah, the Communists weren’t killers either. (Same phenomenon.)
Anyway, regardless of the murderous instructions in the Koran with regard to “infidels,” I don’t think there’s anything associated with that belief system that makes a person more likely to kill their own child (other than for being an infidel, not the case here.) So if this woman is, that seems coincidence only.[/quote]
Great post. The Christian Bible has it’s fair share of that kind of talk:
Deuteronomy 13
"6If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
7Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
8Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
9But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people."
