You asked:
Let me try a different tack. How many Jews and Christians do you think there are who believe the Bible literally? Now how many Muslims do you think there are who take their scriptures literally?
Zero in all camps.
I'm not the kind of person who sits his friends, work colleagues and acquaintances down with a questionnaire on a regular basis.

"..believe",not "know", SP. I'm trying to make a serious point; you seem determined to be flippant.
If Mo wrote an autobiography he could have called it "My Jihad". Do you know how that would translate in German? What I call "raw Islam" - the literal Islam of the Koran and what the Prophet himself actually did - is supremacist, intolerant and divisive. It's like Nazism. This doesn't make all Muslims, who are such largely by accidents of birth and geography, Nazis, but more than a few show just those characteristics, don't they?

sp I hesitate to join this battle, but I (very peaceably and not wanting to get involved in a row) would like to explain about Jews, Christians and the Bible.
Jews have the holy writings of the Torah. The Torah comprises the Old Testament of the Bible. Jews, therefore, have no truck with the New Testament.
The New Testament is concerned with the teachings of Jesus Christ (with a few oddities) and is the one observed by Christians. JC was very definitely non-p.c. and although he grew up with the Torah he rejected it. Christians read and try to understand the OT as a background. Belief is founded in the gentler teachings of Jesus.
The Bible comprises the Old and the New Testaments. It helps if you understand the difference. :)
PS That's it from me. I may be wrong and you already were working from this viewpoint - if so then I apologise. I do get tired of people quoting hellfire and damnation from the OT as if it were illustrative of Christian belief. :(
