But that's kind of the point. The message, as with the bible, is only relevant for the literalists. It isn't for the vast majority of believers, who just subscribe in the same lukewarm way to it as christians do. The Quran is no more or less violent than the other holy books. It's down to people to interpret what they make of the ambiguous texts. Also, same as with the bible, you find kind passages right next to the atrocities. So, again, it's down to the individual, which they follow.
We have christian literalists, and I daresay radicals, on here. We don't have any muslim literalists here. Only naive believers, who try and justify what they believe. In a very clumsy way, I would say.
I listened to him as he was a Muslim ... He isn't the only ex Muslim I have listened too, but I prefer their take than those making assumptions from the outside ... Many ex-Muslims are feeling betrayed by Western Liberals, I don't intend to be one of the betrayers ....
