I'd have to agree with you there. When I first went to read the Koran I tried to keep an open mind about it, but that quickly faded.
Of all the religious texts I've read, the Koran is the least enlightening.

Anti-Semitism is rife. In 2002, Egyptian TV aired a program based on the vastly discredited turn of the last century Russian "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", which has observant Jews making Passover matzot with the blood of Gentiles. In Iran, a popular TV series depicts "Zionists" kidnapping Palestinian children and harvesting their organs for profit. The Palestinians also have no qualms about depicting Jews in despicable roles in their official textbooks. Jews are allegedly descended from apes and pigs and the most noble thing that a Palestinian can do is to rid the world of this pestilence.
In a 2005 TV appearance, Palestinian imam Ibrahim Madiras declared that , "Jews are a cancer". Later, he preached that, "Muslims will kill the Jews...and rejoice in Allah's victory." Astoundingly, current Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has also claimed that, "The Zionists collaborated with the Nazis in order to drive the survivors to Palestine."
"...The list of hypocrisies could be expanded. The locus classicus, of course, is bin Laden's fanciful fatwas. Oil pumped for $5 a barrel and sold for $70 is called stealing resources. Tens of millions of Muslims emigrating to the United States and Europe, while very few Westerners reside in the Middle East, is deemed "occupying our lands." Israel, the biblical home of the Jews, and subsequently claimed for centuries by Persians, Greeks, Macedonians, Romans, Byzantines, Franks, Ottomans, and English is "occupied by crusader infidels" — as if the entire world is to accept that world history began only in the seventh century A.D.
"The only mystery is not how bizarre the news will be from the Middle East, but why the autocratic Middle Easterners feel so confident that any would pay their lunacy such attention.
"The answer? Oil and nukes — and sometimes the two in combination.
"By any economic standard, most states in the Middle East — whether characterized by monarchy, Baathism, dictatorship, or theocracy — have floundered. There are no scientific discoveries emanating from a Cairo or Damascus. It is tragic and perhaps insensitive, but nevertheless honest, to confess that the contemporary Arab world has lately given the world only two new developments: the suicide-bomb belt and the improvised explosive device. Even here there is a twofold irony: The technology for both is imported from the West. And the very tactic arises out of a desperate admission that to fight a conventional battle against a Westernized military without the cover of civilian shields, whether in Israel or Baghdad, is tantamount to suicide.
The Quran is nothing but a jumble that can be distilled as follows: "Those who believe in Allah and his prophet will be blessed, unbelievers will suffer hellfire." That's it. It is the most insufferably boring and disorganized literature ever penned by any man. No wonder Muslims are goofier than outhouse rats. Just trying to master this incondite corpus would knock the sense out of anybody.
