[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about this translation that talks about those that stand on Judaism and expressing desire for death?

"O ye that stand on Judaism! if ye think that ye are friends to Allah, to the exclusion of (other) men,

then express your desire for Death, if ye are truthful!"

I was raised Muslim but am an atheist, so I don't really have a dog in this "fight."

But there are numerous translations of the verse, and some really aren't that inflammatory, basically asking people who are Jewish to profess their faith on their life. [http://corpus.quran.com/translation.jsp?chapter=62&verse=6]

I mean really, don't all religions pretty much ask that? Ask adherents to kind of swear on their lives? Assert their faith as if their life depended on it?

The Quran also praises Jews and Christians in other areas. But there isn't a religious text out there, that doesn't give mixed messages. [/quote]
