(Kathleen K. Duff serves on the Diocese of Albany's Commission for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs. She is a campus minister at Notre Dame-Bishop Gibbons School in Schenectady, N.Y. A version of this column first appeared in the Albany Times Union.)

[NYer]

This is what Bishop Howard Hubbard has wrought in this diocese. One more year to his retirement.

Having observed the behavior of the followers of the Koran, I have no desire to read it, none at all.

[BenLurkin]

More evidence (as if any were needed) that educated fools are a danger to society.

[DallasDeb]

Me thinks she is confusing the devil that she has allowed into her soul, with the true God of Christians, of which Allah is NOT.

[July4]

Idiot.

[ArrogantBustard]

Having observed the behavior of the followers of the Koran,

I have decided that I need to read it, for the same reason that I read the Communist Manifesto, On Guerilla Warfare, and parts of Mein Kampf and Das Kapital.

Know your enemy.

[jmacusa]

Did you learn Bishop, that Mohammed was a demon-obsessed , murdering anti-Semitic pedophile? Did you learn that in his wretch ed life he organized and had carried out sixty-seven military campaigns, twenty-seven of them he led personally? Did you also learn that he preformed NO miracles and died for No ONES sins? Did you learn any of that, you f'ing idiot? Catholic my ass. You're an idiot.

[grobdriver]

She must have skipped right over a lot of those Suras...

[July4]

I meant Duff, not NYer, is an idiot!

[liberalh8ter]

Oy Vey. All I need to know about Islam I learned on 9/11. It's been reinforced by the infiltration of Muslims to my Country, since. The tradition of inhabiting what they perceive to be their conquest continues to this day and is unfortunately being aided by the PC idiots in government and the public, at large.

[History Repeats]

I agree. I want to read it so I can tell those who say “Islam is not a violent religion” the facts straight from their own gospel.

It may turn my stomach, but I will read it so I am informed of what is in the heart and mind of those wishing me dead.

It’s OK to study from a scholarly POV. Thing is, you’ll have to bite your tongue when you come across the many heresies (Jesus not being the Son of God, Abraham told to sacrifice Ishmael instead of Isaac, Mahomet’s rewriting of God’s law, ad nauseam), but it’s useful to actually know the differences so that anyone from a Biblical background who might be getting sucked into that belief can be dissuaded.

For a start, check Ann Barnhardt’s videos on it on youtube.com.

uhh....

The deceits of Satan to be wary of?

[Pollster1]

Having observed the behavior of the followers of the Koran, I have no desire to read it, none at all.

I have read the entire Koran, several times in English and once in Arabic. It is worth having read if your work is related to maintaining freedom in the world. Having read and understood that book, I keep it in a spot far from the bookshelf containing my holy books.

[Psycho_Bunny]

“The Quran inspired me, taught me and helped me to remember my essential holiness and how that holiness in the image of God should be reflected in the world.”

This woman is a complete and total idiot.

The only thing the Quran ever helped me remember is how much I hated reading Mein Kampf.

Turns out they’re the same book.

And they met the same fate in my garbage can.

Anyone who likes or respects the Quran cannot be trusted: their judgement is utterly questionable.

[Olog-hai]

Knowing the enemy is vital to being able to combat the enemy and win.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

— The Art Of War, III-18

The Quran inspired me, taught me and helped me to remember my essential holiness and how that holiness in the image of God should be reflected in the world.

ROTFLMAO, even when God was SPECIFICALLY ordering Joshua to wreck havoc upon the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perrizites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites He did not PERPETUALLY order/allow the Israelites to rape the women as long as they did not get them pregnant. What an intellectual weak and blinded fool this female is.

So why is that Catholics don’t have a saint Muhammad?

Either:

- There was no supernatural encounter by Muhammad (He just made it all up himself.)

-Or-

- Muhammad’s encounter was supernatural, but not with God.

I am sure there is a detailed description of the official church findings in the Vatican archives. (under lock and key)
