It was an example. The Quaran contains lots of violence-based passages, as does the Bible. YOu obviously missed the point.

However, I'm guessing that you don't take Deuteronomy to heart. You pick and choose, right? Well, here's what Deuteronomy had to say about people wanting to worship other gods (other than the One True God):

Deuteronomy 13:

12 If you hear it said about one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you to live in 13 that wicked men have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods you have not known), 14 then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you, 15 you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. Destroy it completely both its people and its livestock. 16 Gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. It is to remain a ruin forever, never to be rebuilt.

Better get busy. I hear there are Mosques in your town. FIx it quick, lest God get angry.

Being a Catholic I dont have to. Something came along after the Old Testament called the New Testament that you missed the point of. By that point, God evidently took some anger management classes.

The Koran however cannot be reinterpreted or modified.
