I will probably have soooooo, soooo many favorite gorgeous verses from the Quran because it’s just… just such a beautiful book. I mean, the violence just somehow makes me go, “Islam, the religion of peace”, when I read it. But so far I gotta say, this is my favorite verse.

-Quran 2:79

“So woe to those who write something down with their own hands and then claim, ‘This is from God,’ in order to make some small gain. Woe to them for what their hands have written! Woe to them for all they have earned!”

Ironic, isn’t it?
Well, my favorite is just ten verses further along in Surah 2:89: There comes to them a book from Allah, confirming what is with them. [See f.94, v.136, S.6:92 & S.10:37] "Them" refers to the Jews and Christians, and "what" refers to the Old and New Testaments, but unfortunately Muhammed did not seem to understand the meaning of Messiah, and so most references are rather anti-Christ. :^(

I wonder if you are expressing those extremist Muslims and expressing Allah in their hearts with their own ideas.
أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّىٰ
[19] Have ye seen Lat. and 'Uzza,
وَمَنَاةَ الثَّالِثَةَ الْأُخْرَىٰ
[20] And another, the third (goddess), Manat?

I haven't dwelved deeper into the Quran but people I've been meeting have been opening my eyes with the fragments of wisdom I have.
I tell Christians that they need to read passages of the Bible in context, not just cherry pick to "prove" a pet theory. It is necessary to treat the Qu'ran the same way. Reading the Qu'ran produces little but confusion, and, in me at least, disgust. Whatever else it says, we need to remember that Mohamed received nothing from God. He said nothing that is not widely available from Greek philosophy, Jewish and Christian writers, and of course, the Bible. Confucius did much the same thing, using Old Testament principles as part of his philosophy.

Mankind has always known what is right and what is wrong. The problem is that he is powerless to do consistently what is right.

Islam is a religion of murder, violence, hatred, revenge and misogyny. The only peace comes from either passive submission to Sharia Law or in the cemetery. You don't have to read the Qu'ran to see that. The news confirms it daily.

Mo was supposed to get his "revelation" from God, yet he did not know the meaning of "Messiah"?
