I answered for you, and I said you wouldn’t hit women even if the book said so. Therefor the picture I have in my head is clearly not of you as a beater. I am actually being more charitable towards you than you are to yourself. You can’t bring yourself to simply say you wouldn’t do it, regardless of what it says.
Truth be told, I wish I knew I would believe in peace, compassion, and forbearance without Quran, but perhaps, I wouldn't.
Truth be told, I wish I knew I would never have became a terrorist without Quran, but I don't know.
I am thankful Quran has lead me to reflect enough to realize important morals and shine upon me bright stars of the past, and the luminaries from Mohammad time to now, mainly Ali and Fatima and the leaders of guidance from their offspring.
I wish I can claim I would have found God and believe in heaven and hell without a divine book, but I don't know.
I am thankful, God has guided me through it in many regards.
I wish I could say I would be on the side of oppressed and stand against oppressors without Quran, but I don't know. I don't even know if I would do it if it were not that I was born into the family I was born into, let alone the need of Imam Hussain and his revolutionary martyrdom.
As the darkness comes, as the shadow makes it way, and the dark night intensifies, and the dark magic covers the heart, I hold to God's rope and call to it.
