Verses of God?  A chorus of crickets.

So when WinterHold says thay "true Islam" forbids killing of people who ridicule Muhammad, he is actually a bigot?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Since Winter tends to go all twitchy when the threads he starts diverge even the littlest bit, I insist we return to the OP.

When the verses of the God are made fun of, Muslims should do the can-can.

And THAT, my friends, is how you stay on topic.

Yeah, but considering that one can interpret those incoherent drunk ramblings as one wishes, isn't than useful to see how Muslims react when someone mocks Muhammad or criticizes Islam to get the impression of how majority of Muslims interpret them?
And indeed, when someone mocks Muhammad, vengeance is swift and often brutal.

The question wasn't how do Muslims react, but how should they react.  I just think the world would be a much more festive place if - when Muslims hear their book being mocked - they stop responding as you describe and opt to emulate a line of French chorus girls instead.

OP, that's what happens when you don't have a life. Every facet of your life IS religion. No freedom of thought outside of religion.
You get one life and you go and waste it on a fantasy... So sad man... So sad.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

If the goal of Islam is the submission to God, not the submission to the religious institution; thus following the Quran is at the top of the pyramid for a Muslim.

A Muslim who replaces the top of the pyramid with anything else is not following Islam's message; but rather following the mutations represented in the Sunni/Shiite schools.

As for contradictions in the Quran, that is a blocked path because me -and billions across 1400 years- read the book and concluded that it has no contradiction.

If there are no contradictions, can you explain why one passage clearly states that Mohammed liked to walk around with live ferrets in his drawers, while another verse - just as clearly - has Mohammed saying this is a sin?

History refutes this
