and as I said, being exposed to evil ideas will not harm one who walks with God. My faith is not threatened no matter how much of the Koran I should hear, nor how many of their prayers I hear them wailing. Those who are so influenced seem to me to be rather weak in their conviction in their beliefs.
I am not a Nazi, but I have read and feel I benefitted from Mein Kampf. I am not a Communist, but have also read and benefitted from the Communist Manifesto. Same goes for the Satanic Bible. IF a book IS evil, then it is all the more reason to read and understand what it is saying. One can never fully understand ones own position unless one has heard the opposing beliefs. The very fact that you are able to make a judgement upon the Koran would indicate you yourself had read it... and how would that knowledge be imparted to you if the book had not been available?
BTW.. and this is just a personal thought. It seems to me that all religions can be divided into two basic catagories. Those which are based in self-interest.. and those based in self-sacrifice. Christs death upon the cross is the definitive example of the philosophies of self-sacrifice. Those based on the opposite would then be serving whom?
Radicalism, no matter what the breed, seems to me to be the biggest evil of all.
