But the Koran Calls for the Death of Non-Muslims - i.e. Most of Britain

It is easy if you are a Muslim to love the Koran - you can personally take comfort that all the calls for the death, destruction and subjugation of the non-believer have nothing to do with you.

Unlike many of our leaders today - who prefer instead to read the well crafted speeches of their prominent Islamic leaders - Churchill likely - actually read the Koran.

93% of references to do with jihad in the Koran, Hadiths and Sira, have to do with waging holy war, while only 3% - of the ones often promoted by moderates - deal with inner peace.

For all our sakes - I truly hope that they can rationalize this thing out - but as it stands - they are killing their apostates.
