oh shit ...

[cthulufhtagn]

all these supposed holy scriptures (bible, koran, torah, etc etc) were intended for ancient audiences and now that it's 1400, or 2000, or 5000 years later nobody can decide how to interpret them...maybe it's because religions are a GIANT FUCKING ANACHRONISM oh rite

^ where did you find this?
you sure its from the Kuran and not some prophit quote?

It is written in the Kuran to respect all jews and Christians....
Its written never to spill blood unless its for revenge on your family...

Oh well... its been a while since I've studied religion in highschool, my memory may betray me...

I got the quotes from the Koran, just look up the chapters and verses in the Koran, you can find versions online. Such as this : http://www.hti.umich.edu/k/koran/

So you wonder why we have such problems with the middle east? Check out this kids show aired at 8am in Iran. The arab guy bashing our religion in the comments is pretty humourous/depressing as well.

Yay for training their children to hate america and israelites and everyone else! Yay religion!

edit: I'm not taking a side, it could be just as bad in israel. And reading some of the comments by dumbfuck chistrians it's just as bad. It's like a 3-way clusterfuck. I know a really nice islamic guy from Saudi Arabia, he's ashamed of the image that terrorists, fanatics and uneducated morons (think red state bumpkins from the US) are giving islam.

Is he also ashamed of what the, uhhhh, KORAN is saying about Islam?

yup. I merely pointed this out cause I was watching it on german news and then did some reading via the bbc website and a few other places cause I was highly curious.

@Tully: No, he's quite proud of his religion. He just hates how its been twisted like every other religion in the world. Most of the people he associates with believe as he does, that the core of the teachings are good but what its been turned into is a sham for the weak minded. We've had long discussions about this when he worked late nights doing updates to the servers.

you can pull those kind of quotes out of pretty much any religious text i imagine, certainly i've seen them from the bible
