Except for the name, of course, which means "the way of peace". And it's your fluency in Arabic that leads you to this conclusion? Yup, there we go - proof that you've confused one interpretation of Islam with all manefestations of it.

So you're picking out parts of the Qu'ran that support your twisted interpretation and ignoring the rest?Since I'm sure you hate when people do that with the Bible, why do you think that's an appropriate way to interpret the Qu'ran?

Matthew 10:34 - Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Oh? Maybe you want to ask the Canaanites about that.

Really? Because what I was doing was applying the exact same methods you used for your conclusions about the Qu'ran to come to conclusions about the Bible.And guess what? When I look at the Bible the way you look at the Qu'ran, I can come to any conclusion I want to, too. Just like you.So, your next comment doesn't really surprise me; it's about how people generally act when their own argument is turned so expertly against them:

quote:

Respect for others is the rule here. Argue the position, not the person. The Britannica says, "Usually, in a well-conducted debate, speakers are either emotionally uncommitted or can preserve sufficient detachment to maintain a coolly academic approach."

Hopefully that should sound familiar to you - it's one of the rules you agreed to when you signed up, and it's the rule you just broke. Any time you care to tender an apology for your rudeness is fine with me.

Hrm, well, ok.Now rebut my argument. Why is picking and choosing from the Qu'ran any different than what I did to the Bible?
