[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Well, if the Koran is the problem, you must also regard the "ethnic cleansing" endorsements in the Old Testament to be a problem, right?

Not at all, on several scores:

1) The Israelites were commanded to annihilate certain groups for specific reasons including infanticide and other sins. Those reasons were limited in scope to just a few particularly bad abominations and not to 'non-believers' generally.

2) The commands to destroy certain groups were limited geographically to an area whose greatest expanse was limited to the area from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates.

3) The groups targeted in the Old Testament no longer exist so those commands are no longer effective.

4) Christianity, as expressed in the New Testament if not always in practice, has a different view of spreading the Word that is by persuasion, rather than conquest, thus sealing off the Old Testament commands.

5) I would not expect the targeted groups to agree with the the commands to be destroyed or commit suicide. Therefore, Muslims should not expect Christians and Jews to roll over and accept the word of some desert skunk that said 'go forth and destroy', no matter how much a bunch of wackjobs in filthy rags believe it.

I hope that helps remove any illusions and lingering self-loathing you may have left over from college days or MSM watching :-)

Must read ping.

I'm still scratching my head over this one, Frank.

Apologetic Muslims?(!)

Isn't that an oxymoron?

Well, at least it's a start.
