Sorry now there is an extreme version of the Qu'ran(Koran) and a non extreme version? errr?
If we banned religion, there wouldn't be an issue. Middle east is a shithole because of religion, most of africa same thing, in fact almost every major conflict has a religious involvement somehow. No one is blaming the people here (apologies if this is what it seems), well at least I am not. I am solely blaming the religion and what people are taught. I have read the Qu'ran (Koran) as I have read the bible. Religion of peace...hardly, religion of killing, lies, theft and pedophilia is closer to the mark. I have also had certain parts checked in arabic through a friend who escaped the religion of death and is now a firm atheist. So there is certainly no misinterpretation.
I never form a view if I cannot challenge the other side, through fact or at least fact checking.
If not liking a rleigion that promotes this **** is being a racist and bigot, then so be it, I really could not give a **** and as such will end my involement in this thread.
The old testament certainly does. As do quite a few religions. Pretty sure it does not in the new testament. The church have also modified writings in the past to remove these views. What the old testament proves is that before their JC saviour, the world was in sin, hence JC being sent...although, I may be confused with that, been a while since i gave a **** about the christian faith.
