To further complicate the reading and understanding of the Quran, the first given and second given are mixed in the book. Worse yet, it is absolutely necessary to read the other books of Islam in order to understand what the Quran is actually saying. These are the Hadiths and Sunnahs, composed of these books: Talibari, Muslim, Isaq and Bukhari.
To most easily understand the Quran, just read Mein Kampf which is a gentler, Germanized version of the all five Islamic books.
There is absolutely no similarity between the Christians view of the Old Testament and the Islamic view of the few (and superseded) parts of the Quran which are similar.
Likewise, there is no similarity between Christ and Muhammad, nor between the Christian G-d and the muslim’s allah.
England is far more PC and Islamizied that the States. The ‘authorities’ being under that sway, are just doing muslim’s bidding - muslims who likely to see all such things physically representing religious themes as anathema - to be destroyed or banned.
Banning something on the grounds you mention is just so much taqiyya - lying in defense of Islam and furthering the spread of Islam.
“You’ve got that backward - much of the Quran was plagiarized from the Old Testament.”
I don’t have it backwards; one follows the lineage of Isaac and one follows Ishmael, so up to that point it is shared (though recorded by Jewish people long before Mohammed was born). I don’t think Christians “plagiarized” the Old Testament; our faith is derived in part from it as a shared source (with both Jews, and to a lesser extent, Muslims - for the reason outlined above).
“To most easily understand the Quran, just read Mein Kampf which is a gentler, Germanized version of the all five Islamic books.”
I have read Mein Kampf; there is nothing religious about it (even in terms of Jewish people, who Hitler regards as practically atheists). It is the angry rantings of a very bitter man. I haven’t read the Koran, but I can’t imagine they are similar; my understanding of the Koran is that it includes revelations to Mohammed from God.
“There is absolutely no similarity between the Christians view of the Old Testament and the Islamic view of the few (and superseded) parts of the Quran which are similar. Likewise, there is no similarity between Christ and Muhammad, nor between the Christian G-d and the muslim’s allah.”
Mohammed and Jesus are both regarded as prophets by Muslims (with Mohammed being more important); like Jewish people, Muslims don’t believe the Son of God has come yet. They share similar dietary restrictions from the Old Testament as well.
