Thank you for that post. We do need to hear assurances that repudiate the violence perpetrated on our country in the name of religion.
Islam is not or enemy...only those who murder in the name of Islam, just as those are who murder in the name of God.
I am a very conservative Christian and ever since this has happened, I keep thinking about the way Christianity is portrayed in the media whenever a Christian blows up an abortion clinic or kills her homeschooled children. Part of me wants to know exactly what the Koran teaches without relying on editorials like this or people with screennames taken from the Book of Daniel to tell me what it teaches (especially when some people make blanket statements without backing them up). I'm not like the sheeple who believe everything they hear without thinking. But, on the other hand, I have so many other things to do with my time, I don't know if I will. I was hoping to get some good quotes from the Koran here on this thread.
I haven't been following all of the articles on FR. Perhaps there are threads with quotes for the Koran where I can find what I'm looking for. Maybe I'll do a search....thinking here as I type.
Thanks for your support.
