as a Muslim I can assure you this is 100 % correct about Islam but unfortunately many Muslims are not like this
As an Atheist i can assure you that you, Like the people who use it as justification for killing, Are simply selectively reading it. You focus on the bits that support what you already believe. the great (crappy) thing about religion is there is something for everyone. if you're a nice guy you can find bits where it tells you to be nice, If you want to kill people, that can also be found.
Coolmanphp: One statement from your image above caught my attention: "Islamic society comes closer than any other society to the ideal democracy." What does that mean?
Very true! But, most of the worst genocides and massacres were in the name of god, maybe they wouldn't of happened if religion didn't exist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusades
It seems the motto of nearly all religions is "believe in our peaceful religion and loving god or die a brutal death".
You have not read the Quran, then why judge it? 100% of the Quran is good. Nothing in the Quran is bad. Read read.
Terrorism a side.... Muslims religion is the one I respect the most as an athiest, and thats as a US citizen.
matter of fact i have read it, So am i able to judge it now? Sorry i thought i needed your permission to form an opinion for a second there. Here is my judgment; it's filth and full of hatred. I have to admit that the quran nearly had me converted; "But if you're willing to fight for Allah, he will provide you with lots of booty" now that's a god!
Have you read the Arabic orginal version? No? you don't know anything about Quran then, you need to learn Arabic to understand the Quran.. Yes? Yey, you breath stinks.. Go away!!!
That's just a rule their leaders invented. Do you know how translation works? they take one word from the orriginal language and replace it with a word of the same meaning from another language.
lol, now that statement makes me doubt you ever read it, quote me many more examples if its so full of hatred please, with refrences. lol you just copied that right off skepticsannotatedbible.com commentary, its not from the Quran. The verse is: This was talking about a battle between the believers who were forced into the desert to starve by the meccan idol worshipers and this verse came down before the battle in which the believers went back and fought the polytheists of mecca, the believers were promised victory, prosperity and they did get it.
You can doubt that i never read it, I'm not here to protect you from your own ignorance. the bit about the booty was a joke, Not a request for a fucking bible class.
Doesn't matter.. Do you even know that the Quran is the word of Allah? The translators aint the God, how do they know what Allah meant? They only can use their limited knowledge of language. How would they know the divine meaning of the words? When allah says 'A', how do they know he meant 'A' not 'B' or not 'C' or 'D' or 'XYZ' ?? It's all bullshit.. You keep flaming Islam and your breath will stink more...
