I have indeed read the Quran, line by line, all of it, more than once. Full of mere assertions, hellfire and damnation, silly tall tales (Alexander the Great travels to the ends of the Earth to see the sun set in a mud puddle). Useful information, such as how to deal with a female captive you desire. Important information, such as how comets were created to chase eavesdropping djinn from Allah's throne. Bezerko
tall tales of Gog and Magog. Evil verses, slay the idolaters, conquer and humiliate the peoples of the book.
This book is an intellectual desert. Mohammed was an ignorant fraud.
Really, to read this book carefully is necessary to really despise the Quran as it deserves to be despised.
The few verses that are reasonable, such as there is no compulsion in religion are widely ignored in Islamic nations.
