It also means that they have no THEOLOGY on which to criticize because it is fundamentally OK in the Koran to kill.

it is fundamentally OK in the Koran to kill.

Try working hard on reading this:

"Whosoever killed a person - unless it be for killing a person or for creating disorder in the land - it shall be as if he killed all mankind; and whoso saved a life, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind." (5:32)

Now, where does it say there that it's "fundamentally" OK to kill? Indeed, that verse states that it's fundamentally heinous to kill except as capital punishment.

That may be, but I don't know enough about Islam to say whether you are right or wrong about that. All I know is-based on the verses I've seen quoted here on FR, you can find similar passages in the Bible stating who is ok to kill as well.

I'm sorry, but I don't think religion, in and of itself, is an evil thing if it's not Christianity. You are free to believe that, but I don't agree. I think the problem lies with people, not their religion.
