Not a Muslim? Can't say Allah in Malaysia.

Most things you usually see on the news aren't portrayed accurately otherwise nobody would watch it, showing the extremist stuff gets the ratings.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Quoting passages is fine anyone can twist views left right and centre; but just out of curiousity has anyone actualy read the whole thing?? English translations are easily obtainable.

I have read the whole Koran (In arabic and English) and its nothing like what most myopic folk who look at 1 or 2 paragraphs portray it to be. Sure there is one or two things I would I say I deplore and are outdated with the current moral values subjective to each society, even countries such as Pakistan with a 98% Muslim population don't use sharia law because of the aforementioned reason. Who the hell is somebody who lives in the West to judge who has better standards its toally subjective alot of the stuff you do they find deplorable and rightly so. The fact it doesn't say go bomb, murder, pilage, or rape, God has reserved pre-planned punishments for those that do. Plus I wish people really knew the true use and meaning of the word Jihad rather than just holy war against the west, which is wrong.

Islam's biggest problem is 'the brainwashers' as I like to call them who twist and twist so as to get these innocent young children to carry their will and NOT God's will. These people are always in it for themselves they don't give a shit about God and they are the ones that will burn in hell.

BTW

The line

Quote:

8:12, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.

Is actually in reference to the historic Battle of Badr, so know your stuff first rather than going onto some anti-Islamic website who doesn't know squat and just twists a quote and take it as gospel. Alot of the other lines are in references to other battles which have taken place in history e.g. Battle of Tabouk. So it doesn't say a Muslim should go blow up the white man which is most of you short sighted folk and those extremist pigs like Bin Laden who twist it think it to mean.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
