The Koran specifically says that all infidels should be offered the chance to convert. If not they should be killed. Now the question arises: If the Muslims do not abide with this edict from Allah, why do they insist in keeping it as a part of the Koran? If not, should we assume that all Muslims are hypocrites that do not believe in their religion?

It seems that any nation that has a majority Muslim government seems to have a pretty definite idea of following the Koran under Shia law. Ask the Christians in Malaysia how peaceful the Muslims are. Thousands have been killed there as well as in Pakistan. Who is acting as the spokesman for these atrocities? It is sure not Mr. Bush or Mr. Powell.

Good question and I am not about defending the Muslim religion or the Koran.

But just turn the question around. Adultery is a sin. Why do people like Swaggart, and any other Christian or Jew who has sinned in that manner, insist on keeping it as a Commandment?

Here is an easier one. Why do people who don't remember the Sabbath and keep it holy keep that Commandment around?
