...This is the common flaw in such arguments- unlike Christianity (and the bible), the Islamic Koran is the direct word of God....

Muslims still have to interpret the text of the Koran and this is why there are so many versions of Islam out there.

Just because a text in the Koran has a clear meaning to you or I does not mean that all Muslims will agree with our understanding of it.

If you don't believe me, talk with Muslims yourself, and I would suggest talking with Muslims from different countries and traditions. You will discover they are not as monolithic has you want to make them out to be.

Therein lies the fatal flaw in your thinking. It is clear that you don't understand, and don't wish to understand. So there is no point in further discussion with you, about this subject.

Good day.
