"If the best you can do is to question the specific context of two cited verses...."

No it's just that I've been through this before and replied to those same so=called quotes - you're just getting boring...

I suppose one would have to BE a reasonable person first to be able to guess what a reasonable person might extract -
-a reasonable person might actually read and create their own arguments rather then just cut'n'paste.
- when a reasonable person DOES cut'n'paste, its reasonable for them to provide links so that other reasonable people can verify the info and see it in context...

Your pathetic attempts at crafting insults are what can be considered most predictable. If I cut and paste verses from the Qur'an, it is simply because I do not have my own copy sitting on the bookshelf. Not that it undermines the veracity of my arguments, or detracts from the structure of them being my own, but when critiquing the overall argument depends upon such nitpicking rather than refuting the basis for the argument itself, it is obvious that there is reaching - but not grasping.

You have thus far found fault with two verses of the Koran being cited out of context, and complained about whether or not I chose to link to sources of information.

If so much of what I have cited is really out of context to the extent that my points about the true basic nature of Islam and its long- held mainstream beliefs, then why aren't the pages of this thread overflowing with people rushing to correct or contradict my assertions? Perhaps it is because I am fundamentally correct about muhammadanism, its tenets, and its lengthy and bloody history. Really, as a force of war, death, destruction, rape, brutality, and land grabbing - Islam has no single peer since its inception. No one should have to give a fully footnoted history lesson every time they raise a point or support it. You have relied more on picking at a few minute loose ends, and questioning how I gathered information - which did not sufficiently undermine the crux of any of the major points (and they were major, all things considered) I raised.

If you find me boring, it may be because, despite reams of evidence which contradicts the concept of presenting Islam as a religion of peace, and supports the fact that if practiced, it is the primary precepts thereof, not only the alleged fanatics which pose a significant threat to America and other countries...you stubbornly refuse to wrap your mind around the truth.

Simply stated, that deficiency lies neither with me, nor the facts available.

If this information about Islam is incorrect, then some peaceful muslims with no hatred of America and no designs on overthrowing our Constitutional representative republic are at risk for having their loyalties challenged during a time of war in a similarly discriminatory fashion to Italian, German, and Japanese Americans who preceded them.

They might be insulted or even offended by it. I could care less - they'll get over it. If they love America, they should understand that we have a more legitimate basis for placing them under scrutiny than any of the other aforementioned groups, given that none of the other groups successfully executed an act of war/terror on the mainland U.S.A. (When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was only a territory, more than a decade away from statehood.)

If this information about Islam is correct, however, we are placing ourselves in the crosshairs of further mortal risk by choosing to ignore it, and hope the "better angels" of Islam's nature prevail in peace, after failing to do so through 1,381 years up to the present.

Notice I neutrally specified "this information", rather than placing things in an adversarial context of 'you versus me' or 'us versus them'.
