Ad that in, and it;s possible that no two lines agree with one another, depending on who you ask. There's no reason to read the quran. Just apologize for offending your friend, if you feel the need, and let it go....seriously, lol. You don;t want to pursue a career in education with the "bigot" label hovering over your head, however unjustly it may have been assigned. Welcome to the world of the religious, where you have to shut your face and know your place.
With the risk of sounding childish I find that it is simply not fair that I should not be allowed to voice what I think because it's negative against religion and I certainly don't feel that I should apologise for offending her as that was never my intention - she chose to be offended. I would happily sacrifice my job in order to exercise my right to free speech. I have made it clear to her that she is a human being and for that I love her, but I happen to dislike her religion (and any other) greatly.
