[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not get the Koran and educate people about how Muslims are going to hell if they kill non-Muslims. It says so in the Koran, doesn't it?[/quote]

No, it doesn't say that.

Signed, a person who has read the Quran, and don't make me type what it does say[/quote]

Well it certainly doesn't say to kill woman and children.

It says it's ok to enslave women and children, which is what ISIS is doing

- Someone who has read it and wishes more people would do so[/quote]

This is the problem with an ancient text.  Some say yes; others say no. [b] Interpreting an ancient text using today's standards  is useless.  Let it represent its time period only. [/b] same could be said for the bible

Religion is bullshit.[/quote]

There was never a time when enslaving women and children was okay.  It wasn't okay then and it's not okay now.  They were wrong then and they are wrong now.

What does that have to do with anything?

If it captured the time period, then let it be.  That was my point.  There's no need in resurrecting the past unless the resurrection is used to TEACH that we've learned nothing as a human race.  [/quote]

The past has everything to do with the present.  You are saying that it represents its time period.  I'm saying it was wrong in that time period and it is still wrong today.  It didn't "capture the time period".

Are you saying that the present conflict and situation has nothing to do with the past?   They go hand in hand.

If a group is practicing it's religion the way it was practiced in the past (with violence), we don't just say let it be that was the past.

ISIS has resurrected the past, should people 100 years from now say well that was just a reflection of the time period in 2015- Let it be?
