You sound like some one I could easily have a conversation with. Nice post, clear and to the point.People who claim to share my religion have quoted verses to support slavery, war, and all manner of things. They did it wrongly, and if you ask any Catholic about it, they will tell you that. It is the same with muslims…if you want, you can pull things out of context and pervert their meaning. Ask a muslim, and he or she will tell you the same.
Sure, just like the Bible used to justify torturing jews in Spain because being jewish was an affront to “christian teaching”. And of course the friars often justified torture in South America on “christian teaching”, because the pagans were offending them by worshipping idols.
The Koran does not justify this kind of barbarism any more than the Bible does, but there will always be people who use religion as a cover for their own agendas.
Just like people who wish to insult muslims. This is not about Christianity (indeed, the Church specifically teaches that we should respect and enter into dialogue with muslims in Lumen Gentium and the resultant CCC 841).
Cyber, you are insulting muslims because of bias, ignorance, and fear. I’ll pray that you can someday accept the truth of the Church’s teaching, and stop letting your passions lead you astray.
