I challenge any theologian of Islam or any apologetic Muslim to convince me with any interpretation which goes against the apparent plain and straightforward meaning of the following verse of the Quran : Chapter 8, verse 55:
" Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are those who have disbelieved, and they will not [ever] believe!"
Will you ferpetessake Stop "cherry-picking" the Quaran in your miserable racist way? Because I can So easily do that with the Babble, and it all proves....NOTHING,
@BeerAndWine Anybody can go to Any "religious" work and pick out phrases/idea/parables that are Obviously nasty......why would you do that, exactly?
@BeerAndWine you sound totally ignorant
@OwlInASack perfectly stated! This OP is a nasty rabble-rouser!
@BeerAndWine yeah, because of course the babble is all sweetness & light? Not! "My fears"....only fears I have is of nastiness such as the OP is promoting.
@BeerAndWine, @OwlInASack well said!
The bible seems not much more tolerant--John 3:18: Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
Being an Atheist is punishable by death in 13 predominately Islamic countries.
The Bible is no better than the Koran. It is a vicious and hateful book. The only thing keeping Xtianity going is fear, inertia, peer pressure, apathy and the fact that most of the flock are too lazy to actually read the Bible. The Bible creates more atheists than a million Satans.
It is a book that engages in a considerable amount of demonisation and dehumanisation in order to incite murder and deter people from being anything other than Muslim. That is why it has been so successful. Hitler used exactly the same techniques, but fortunately people stood up to his hate instead of endorsing it and calling it peaceful.
Indeed, the Bible is also responsible for generating genocides, and all those who fail to condemn its hate are also culpable. But the commitment to anti-violence that you speak of is incompatible with endorsement of a religion which makes violence so heavily a part of its nature in its holy text which bombards the reader with death threats and incitements to violence. It is no accident that Islam keeps generating genocides when the Qur'an directly calls for them.
