^^ Ok, so I have not read the Koran which makes me less than qualified to opine, but the one thing that strikes me when people point out the extreme text, is that it is probably no different in tone than the Old Testament. Read that one lately?? Talk about a 'good read...' God sure did undergo a change in perspective when his son was born...
Not withstanding the tone of the Old Testament, we do not make the same assumptions about Judeo-Christian beliefs as we do about Islam. I mean I understand the history and all but somehow we are able to rationalize western religous doctrine in peacefull terms despite the Old Testament while we refer to Islam in violent terms because of the Koran.
Seems a bit contradictory to me.
