I never said I didn't, did I? I do believe in a merciful God who might forgive invinbile ignorance, so my reading is not quite as literal as most. But in general, yes I agree.
***There can indeed be great "good" done by Muslims, as it can be done by Hindus or athiests.***
That was not and is not the point. Atheism, Hinduism, and Islam are paths to eternal destruction.
Sure, it was the point. If the Pope was showing respect for the good in Islam, this is what it is. If a Calvinist wants to believe there is no good in Islam, then he won't see this.
I can recognize that those religions are paths to destruction without having to individually condemn every single teaching and every single adherent. For example, if I was to believe that all of you Protestants were going to hell, that wouldn't at all lessen my appreciation for the good works you do. When you do good, it is for the glory of God.
But one can not say that therefore the Koran contains nothing that is true, and that Muslims have accomplished absolutely nothing good and decent in the attempt to follow their faith.
That again is not the point. The Satanist Bible has some true statements in it. In fact, the essence of deception is to include enough truth to make the error palatable.
Now we come to it. You have grudgingly admitted that there could be some good contained in the Koran. So we don't have to argue about it.
