Response to Infidel - describing the playground

Submitted by jennifer solis (United States), May 21, 2008 at 00:30

Hello Infidel,

Yes, there are many verses (particularly the Medinan ayas) in the Qur'an that are antithetical to peace, freedom.

But they descibe the "playground"; who runs the "school"?

In the last two paragraphs of my post (the one you responded to), I was trying to illustrate that it would seem whoever was the "mastermind", he depends on "slavery" of his subjects.

To the point of having his subjects kill those who try to leave.

Free will and volition is an anathema to "the one" who "runs the school".
