So Tarkanian, or whatever that is short for, seems to me it is short for something, what do you do where the book contradicts itself?
What about lying to infidels to promote Islam, is that in there?
I guess I will have to read it and see. How many different translations are there into English or something else I could puzzle through, French or Spanish maybe. It would be interesting to me to see how different stuff is translated.

Which bring me to me other point seems to me that this vid makes it look as if all Muslims are guided by their holy book to be violent, to deceive, beat there wifes ect... all that in the name of assimilation the planet. If so I'm pretty sure that with 1.3 billion Islamist you have more then just a couple of bombings and planes crashing into buildings.
Also the Koran (for the litle that I have read) can be very misinterpreted. Its the language that makes it like that. Interpreters of the Koran study the Arabic language for years and year before even starting to study the actual the book. Like LT (only dude here that knows Arabic) said the language is very difficult to be translated in English.
The book itself is to be taken as a whole. Not little passages out of context. Many different versions exist ands they are all official from different imams and mosques. The obivious choice would be the version approved by Mecca. I'm sure that if you skim thru it or try to decyfer the book from another language you be right back here posting BS passes and interpretations.
The simple fact is that most Muslims are peacefull. Most of the ones who are not either at war (Palestine) or have been oppressed by war for centuries (Afghanistan). There are extremist but that is part of ANY group. The problem in this case is even if 99% of the Islamist population is not extremist, it leaves you with 1.3 million that are.
Also you're probably the only member here that doesn't know my real name
