Well context dear, what a beautiful thing.  Islamophobes attempt to deceive people by quoting out of context and in a manner that suits their desires.Many people read the Quran without understanding the context. English translations of the Quran either give no context, or a limited context.Context has to do with four principles: literal meaning (what the words say), the historical setting , the events in which the words were used, who were the words addressed to and how those words were understood at that time, the grammatical structure  of the passage and synthesis, comparing it with other passages in the Quran for a fuller meaning. All of these things refer to context. Taking verses out of context leads to all kind of errors and misunderstandings. Sadly, taking passages out of context, giving some more importance than they deserved, and misinterpreting them for their own reasons was initiated by the Orientalists and built upon, not only by the Media but also, verses were and are used out of context even by Muslims to justify individual or group actions.[/quote]

You say things are taken out of context. Mr. Bin Baz would also say things are taken out of context.  Yet the two of you would hold very different opinions.   Clearly, you aren't the only person who has access to knowledge of historical context and grammatical structure of the Quran.  You think your interpretation is correct and entirely embracing of all context.  And I say that wahhabi and salafi scholars have as much context and historical setting/grammatical structure on their side as you do. Volume-wise, perhaps more. Quran and hadith, well, that's lots of stuff there.  You can find context for whatever. Did Ibn Taymiyya lack historical context or knowledge of Arabic? Probably not. Who's to say he's wrong and you're right?[/quote]
