The Islam Thread...

[Hax]

1. I have read things from islam that kind of disturbed me, be it from the Qur'an, or the Hadiths, etc...

Verses about killing "unbelievers" and verses about Christians and Jews, etc. that tell Muslims to make war against them, and i have also read verses that say that Jews and Christians are "people of the Book(The Bible, obviously)" and are to be respected.

Have you even read the Qu'ran itself? When they speak about war, it is only in self-defense and in defense of the weaker, but should your enemy surrender, you have to accept it and look upon him as your brother, etc, etc.

And about your friends, they haven't killed you, right? Tell me now, when was the last time an atheist was murdered by vengeful Christians? The Bible is way more violent and unforgiving than the Qu'ran, at some points.

EDIT: The full verse is: "So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make [them] prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom [themselves] until the war terminates.
