I read parts of the Koran as a child in school while my parents were stationed for a couple of years in Iran... I got to tell you that nothing I remember was offensive or sadomasochistic... ,mostly it was repetitions of nonsense, but then again I was a teenager and I read it with other girls just because it was forbidden for us to do so in class and we wanted to find out what it was all about, not to be enlightened or converted... I do remember that it spoke of the jews as being un-pure. The version I read was written in Farsi so it was a translation , perhaps altered to the sensitivities of the people around me... I don't know. Maybe if more would read it more would realize that it is anticuated, barbaric and it makes no real sense ...but then again, a Muslim reading the Bible might say the same thing... Be well xoxoxo

I totally agree that people should read the koran
however, the koran you read is not the original version of it, because not even the arabic speaking can understand the original koran. But I disagree with the burning of the koran, I am glad he did it, not because I like burning holy books, but because it is a meesage that was heard. Also, I do not like burning the tora or the christian bible, but the difference is that when you burn the tora or the chirstian bible, people dont go out and kill people, so burning the koran only showed you what muslims are really like.
so it was a good act.
and everybody should study the koran and see what a murderer muhamad really was. and when your prophet is a murderer of course his followers are doomed to be the same. I am still looking for real moderate muslims who would stand up and say that Israel has a right to exists, those muslims dont exists, well maybe one in a billion or a million, but I have yet to find them. so yes, burning the koran was good. more people should do that and let them know that we will no stand for their terrorism and we are not afraid of their stupidities.

A tit for tat never does work I think and its far better to read and have a dialogue Naut.

Wise it is to suggest that we all read it. Only then can true dialouge occur.

I have no comment on how or what any who profess a personal faith in either of these religions think about what. I have mine. I am sure of it. I have seen the results. I am not calling those of no faith anything. I would appreciate them not calling me an idiot for having faith. Why don't we all decide to understand rather than call those of faith fools? If you have never been in the position how can you be so sure it is total ignorance, old fashioned, stupid etc?

Which proves two wrongs do not make a right. They should restrict themselves as my Grandpa did - to the last year's Sears catalogue...torn into little, medium, and large squares.

It is like in Nazi Germany....the end of Freedom of speech of human
rights...and in this case, of wearing your head.
