I know 2 muslims.
#1 threatened to set me on fire if I asked one more thing about the koran...... okay. #2 explained that she converted when they started killing people in her city who didn't. She is currently an american citizen and has NO religion now. |

Have YOU read the Koran? Or did you read quotes from it off this site or from "Prophet of Doom" which is where most of those quotes are cut and pasted from? |

I've read most of it. I agree with you- it does, overall, promote murder. BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT ALL MUSLIMS ARE WORTHY OF DEATH. And I don't care how you spin it. Some who practice the religion may be oblivious to this message, may choose to ignore it, may be too fucking stupid to "get it". Bottom line, not all Muslims are evil. Why is that so fucking hard to understand. |

you can't refute the inherent wickedness of islam. the messages of hate, violence, and intolerance are abundant in the koran. i've read it three times cover to cover (once for a religion class in college, once right after 9/11, and once a couple of months ago). any peaceful muslim isn't adhering to their religion. if you haven't read the koran, please do. the brazen and matter-of-fact manner in which they denounce and condemn "infidels" will blow your mind and give you a better idea of how the muslim mind thinks.

You can get an english translation of the Koran from major bookstores these days. Usually they will have 2 or 3 translations, since Arabic is an imprecise language. I'm sure there's some Arabic speakers on this board too who have read the thing in its native tongue. Personally I think it's at its core a violent, intolerant religion. Except the Sufis. The followers of Muhammed himself who lived in the years after his death proved as much. Their understanding of his teacher is better than any of ours, and they waged aggressive war, taking up where Muhammed left off.

Are you saying that the excepts posted aren't actually IN the koran? What book are you reading? I have actually taken the time to read versions of the koran published online by muslims themselves. The versions are slightly different, but have similair substance. EVERY version is replete with commandements to, essentially, wipe out the nonbeliever. IT IS IN THERE. Over and over again. Not just a phrase here or there, taken out of context, but the overriding theme of the book concerns death, destruction, killing of infidels, and submission to islam. |

I havn't personally read the Quaran.
I would like too though, so I am a bit more informed. I do that my mothers TWO ex-husbands used to put their Quaran in the closet when they beat her because it couldn't be present. Whether that is just my mom's fault for picking dumbass wife-abusers (which it probably is), or this is a norm...not sure. But I remember reading that it is common practice. As far as it saying whether or not to kill all non-muslims specifically, I do not know. But it does say that if you become a martyr you are guaranteed a place in heaven with 72 virgins to play with. That is pretty advocative of starting wars, why not be guaranteed heaven if all you have to do is die while fighting a holy war? And if you kill infidels at the same time....more the better! |

You are correct Steve. Not ALL are worthy of death, but the 'religion" in its present day form surely is. It must be reformed. The text itself must wholly denounce terrorist acts. Otherwise, the root cause will remain and muslims can claim that the acts of the 'radicals' simply reflect what every good muslim should do in the name of Allah. |

Don't know. I've worked with some secular Arabs that were/are quite nice people. The true practicing radical believers are the ones I've had a bad time with. OTOH, My wife worked with an Arab OB GYN for many many years. He brought many an infant white devil into this world even though he was the grand poobah of his local mosque. He has since closed his practice and moved back to Saudi Arabia after he got some post 9-11 visits from the FIBS. |

I wasn't addressing you actually, but your "google cut and paste" of "naughty Koran phrases" that you got off another website is what made me think of it. Someone who posted here that he thought all muslims should be killed because of what it said in the koran did admit, believe it or not, that all he had read of the koran was what was posted here on arfkom. |

I have read through a few of the meaty passages of the Qu'ran, and YES it does, for lack of a better term, promote the destruction of non-muslims. They also hate Jews a little more than Christians.
However, they will allow non-muslims to live if they pay a regular tribute (a heavy tax). Then again, any barbarian of anchient times allowed victims to survive only to generate revenue for their oppressors. |

What is so fucking hard to understand is we have people who freely admit that the book that Islam is founded and based on promotes "murder" and "subjugation," but refuse to consider the fact that those people who profess faith and obedience in that book are anything but "murderers" and "subjugators." How can you believe in something and *not* subscribe to it??? |

It sure does. I'm amazed at how ignorant most liberals are about this aspect of the religion. About the mass murder allegedly committed by Mohamed himself. It's a book of hatred- anyone who doubts me, please buy a copy of it and read it. Again, just as some practicing Christians are murderous thugs despite the peaceful teachings of the Bible, a substantial number of Muslims are not murderous thugs despite the hateful teachings of their religious manual. |

Paul, pay attention. See that red part up there". You've got to believe in the stif from "the phophets" You'll see that over and over in the so-called tolerant versus of the Koran. Muhhamed was pretty slick, that one. And that that says is that you've got to believe in A, B, AND "C" to be saved (from the smitting of the neck). That little bit of language is referring to Mohammed. To the koran. See how that works? You can believe all that other stuff and we won't kill you as long as you believe the stuff "the Prophet" said too. Get it? Submit. To ISLAM. OR DIE. |

Think of Islam this way. You read the old testament in the christian bible right? It wants you to do some pretty unspeakable acts. The New testament has resolved these issues into current christian beliefs.
Islam never received a new testament. Some follow this code to the letter, others don't. The only way to judge is by actions and inactions. -Steve |

I am very good friends with a muslim girl.
My uncle, auntie and cousin are muslim. Some of my dad's colleagues are muslim. All are peace loving. All are very very friendly and kind. I would not consider any of them a threat. In the end, who am I to judge them? God is the only one who can judge people. It doesnt matter what I, or others think about them, it only matters what God thinks. In the end, he will judge us all. |

Ok, fair enough. We aren't, or shouldn't be enemies. I don't think that you support the acts of terrorists at all. We just differ in opinion on the meaning of the substance of the Koran and its implications for the actions of the terrorists and garden variety, non-violent, muslims. I contend that the koran, in its whole, more supports the acts of the terrorists than not. And that it needs a reformation. I like to compare the gospels where there is NOTHING that could lead anyone to belive anyting that could be construed as a license for terrorist acts. Sure, shitty things have been done in the name of Christinanity, but they didn't find it ini the gospels. Some Muslims sure do find quite a bit of authority in the koran for their murderous acts. |

I've read it and I have studied it a bit though admittedly from a skeptical non believers perspective. I keep seeing the same arguments in favor of the Religion of Peace that there are an just as many verses in the Koran proclaiming peace and love as there are that call for death and destruction to non believers. As many have said many times within this forum the Koran is not organized in chronological order yet just as the New Testament supersedes the Old for Christians those verses received last from Allah by Mohammad general are seen to superseded the older verses for Muslims. A quick look at those often quoted verses that concern us infidels will quickly show that verses spouting hatred, death and destruction towards nonbelievers were invariably among those last received by Allah. For that reason Islam scares me. |

Right, I didn't know about those, but it just reinforces my point. I had said that there WERE other extremists, the IRA for example. (Btw, if they are involved in the same type of activities the penalty should be the same). But I don't see 90% of the terrorism in the world caused by the IRA, nor protestants (which is what I think the IRA is, if not, please correct me). {edited for spelling} |

LOL does my girlfriend post here-"Okay I'm sorry that we argued over YOU being wrong again."  Honestly I have not read the entire Koran. The few muslims I know are died in the wool american capitalists happy to not be under religious rule, they fled those countries years ago. However there are plenty of those islamic fundamentalist schools churning out young men who have no marketable job skills, don't have a peeny to their name and have been taught this warped "jihadist" version of islam. Both groups would both tell you they are muslims but they have no more to do with each other than I, or my grandfathers, had to do with the IRA. Now were there men in my family that grumbled and did not like the British-sure, but they sure would not have approved of setting off bombs to get back at the Brits. |

I want them out of our military. Islam itself says it is okay to lie to an Infidel / Unbeliever - their loyalty Oaths are worthless. I want the House of Fraud and half of their 6000 "Princes" who are virulent Wahabists / Salafists / Sharia -backing FREAKS to be cut off from their funding, to stop the funding of literally thousands of fundamentalist Wahabi madrassas sprinkled from Morocco to Singapore. I want their funding of revisionist, Fascist, supremacist Muslim Student Associations on our major university campuses stooped, immediately. I want their slow-speed Invasion of my Nation, or Northern Europe stopped. I want their staff apologists and PR flacks to stop being given a free pass by dhimmi Mainstream Media. I want their murderous jihads IN EVERY SINGLE NATION BORDERING THE DAR AL ISLAM to stop. If they want a return to a 7th Century nomadic clan existence, let'em have it IN THEIR OWN FUCKING LANDS. I WILL NOT stand by and let them do the same in America. |

Testaments like this are not rare (except on the GD). And this is exactly why annihilation of a populous for merely being affiliated with a certain religion mirrors the same terroristic practices as those in Russia today. It bears the logic of, "If terrorists kill non-muslim children, then we'll be terrorists too and kill muslim children." Killing people for their religious beliefs is immoral to put it politely. Our country was founded in part on the ideology of practicing freedom of religion. Thank you for your post, FiftyCalibre. |
