Sorry for the delay. Part of the time has been spent considering my answer, and, well, part of it has been spent arsing about on Youtube. Usually watching live performances of U2.
Intruigingly, none of you have ever considered the possibility of me being a Muslim.
andak01 on that forum makes a damn good point- nowhere in those Koran quotes is there any talk of rape, although I admit it does talk of about "possessing" women in a way I don't appreciate.
And you never think of the possibility of a Jewish forum having an alterior motive for slating Islam, when insane, dangerous individuals claiming to be Muslims like the President of Iran are denying the Holocaust? Get real.
Also, I find it interesting that this is the quote always brought up by the BNP when the topic of Islam arises. The BNP, of course, notorious for twisting their information beyond the realm of credibility.
Are you living by good Christian values- regarding homosexuality as an "abomination", for example, and therefore dealing with that "abomination"? I think you'll find most holy books have plenty of things for evil, demented extremists to twist.
The other link about the "Verses of Hate" even has the gall to misquote the Koran. Be ignorin' that then.
