Originally posted by Corbett: If you really want to interpret what it says I suggest you read the context in which these verses are in, not just the verse itself. I know you are not supporting terrorism, however, you are obviously trying to disprove my belief that Islam sponsors terrorism.
You are doing the EXACT thing that the Muslim community has been crying out against- twisting of the Koran's teachings. Yes, there are extremist Muslims, just as much as there are extremist Christians. The KKK comes to mind. The people that walk into Planned Parenthood and light the place up with gunfire come to mind.
It's all in the interpretation. The majority of Muslims do NOT, repeat, DO NOT believe in the verses you are quoting here as a tenet by which they should kill. There are many other verses (outnumbering, in fact) that state you should love your fellow man, that if they don't believe in Allah they go to hell, but, you should still love them.
I guarantee you that I could write my own passages, hand them to 50 different people, and get 3 different interpretations- 1.) That it was the greatest way to live ever created. 2.) That it meant you should kill a whole bunch of people. 3.) That it's full of crap and shouldn't be listened to.
I suppose you've NEVER asked yourself "What if I'm interpreting these things wrong?"
