1.7 billion sheep apparently profess allegiance to a book in which roughly 80% (92 of the Qur'an's 114 surahs) relate to hell, fire, doom, and punishment, and makes the torturous murders committed by self-proclaimed Islamic groups like ISIS appear moderately tame in comparison to the fortunes that unbelievers can look forward to under the direction of Allah on the Day of Judgment. Still, we are told it is a religion that embodies peace and timeless wisdom. So, in honor of the sleaze who allegedly wrote this bigoted trash, post your favorite surahs. I'll start with 4:34:
Quote:Men are the protec-tors and maintainers of women because Allah has made one of them excel over the other, and because they spend out of their possessions (to support them). Thus righteous women are obedient and guard the rights of men in their absence under Allah's protection. As for women of whom you fear rebellion, admonish them, and remain apart from them in beds, and beat them. Then if they obey you, do not seek ways to harm them. Allah is Exalted, Great.
