[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting piece, by a Muslim, on the disconnect that results when non-Muslims ask Muslims about Quranic verses. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ali-a-rizvi/an-open-letter-to-moderat_b_5930764.html[/quote]

Excellent article.

Yes by this and many other measures I am an Islamophobe.  I have been negative on religion since reading the old testament and learning about a hateful and jealous god.

I just dont get it.

Seems like Quran is the same repetition and message, just a different prophet, but yet it is even worse, in that the leader was a warlord general and very violent.  The Quran is supposedly the word of God, is perfect,  yet contains hate filled verses used to justify murder of innocents that think differently.   It advocates mixing government and religion.   And people think Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with the Quran and the religion.  That it is a cultural thing.  How can people think that someone reads this stuff over and over and it has no impact.

From article, have you experienced this ...

(3) The Muslim responds by defending these verses as Allah's word -- he insists that they have been quoted "out of context," have been misinterpreted, are meant as metaphor, or that they may even have been mistranslated.

(4) Despite being shown multiple translations, or told that some of these passages (like similar passages in other holy books) are questionable in any context, the Muslim insists on his/her defense of the Scripture.
