If you want to keep on attacking my character to try to change the subject of what Quran 9:1-5 and 29-30 mean, be my guest. I'll leave it up to the one TRUE God on whether or not I call people's attention to certain passages from the Quran that turn good people (45 British Islamic medical doctors) into MONsters.
"I'll leave it up to the one TRUE God on whether or not I call people's attention to certain passages from the Quran that turn good people (45 British Islamic medical doctors) into MONsters. "
The God of the Muslims is the God of Christians.
That's what being an "Abrahamaic" faith means.
You have no education. I'm so very, very sorry for you.
If you want to pull out little bits of text from the Qur'an to "prooftext" then you can expect the same from the Bible and there are just as many little horrors in there when you take a small bit of text out of socio-historical context and context within the greater meaning of the text.
In addition you are reading English translations which don't quite carry the meaning and are of a low-context understanding. Just as you are likely reading English translations of the Bible which also always fall short.
I take it that, IF one were to translate the Quran correctly into English, instead of the incredibly STUPID ways Pickthal, Shakir and Yusef Ali translated them, the sun would be stationary and the earth would be rotating? "Strike off the finger tips and heads off of infidels" would be translated as "caress the hands and kiss the necks of infidels"? Surah 9:1-5 would SOUND like history, and NOT something that can be for OUR time as well? Quran 3:28 and 16:106 tells Muslims to actually be TRUTHful and NOT lie when "under duress" because 72 virgins DO await those who view the next life as important and NOT this one, so, why lie to protect your life in THIS world, as 16:107 seems to say, contradicting 106?
