How so? the statement is very wrong because Arabic is language, so just like any normal language, some parts are literal while some parts are relative.
It's not rocket science like the believers of this theory advocate. In a sense, it only exists to give the Imams and the scholars to build -or dig?- tunnels around the word to make it mean something else.
Symbolism is used heavily in Dark Metal, not in the Quran..if you understand Arabic then the book is crystal clear.

No; hearing a Marylin Manson song would be more useful.
I respect language and meaning.

Allegory and symbolism, in arabic..Atlas..is still allegory and symbolism.

I don't get it, if you find reading (all!) sunni hadiths tiring, don't read them. Also OP clearly isn't well versed in islamic theology and yet makes very general claims about Islam as a whole.
And summarizing all the hadiths you supposedly read and understood in one thing (fearing hell and threats of torment) says it all about the depth of thought our fellow atheists display when it comes to Islam.

The other opinion is that constitutions and codes of ethics that humans practice here on earth are not really satisfactory in all conditions; thus some people seek refugee in Islam's holy Quran. Islam as a word means submission as you said; and a Muslim must take a personal oath to abandon human beliefs and seek total refugee under God.
In other words; the secret for Islam's success is that it's simply providing a better story for our existence and a better system of rights stated in the Quran. Human laws and constraints failed to protect humanity and caused 2 world wars and caused us all to reach the bottleneck of apocalypse: nations of confused people aiming nukes at each other.
Nah, the "secret" of islam's success is the same as for all other successful religions, the sword. Once compulsion and fear are removed, islam will die as surely as christianity currently is.
Aww, crapola I replied to a necroed thread without realising it. And worse, I realised it first time round.
