Must it be read in Arabic to be properly understood by a non-believer? Having read extensively, including English translations of the Quran, I find it interesting you feel compassion for the non-believer. Do you have that compassion for those non-believers like Daniel Pearl who were brutally beheaded by your fellow compassionate believers? Do you think slavery is still acceptable since the Quran says it is? Must all non-beliverms to be the nons either convert to Islam, and if not, pay the jizra and submit to Islam superiority, or else be beheaded or killed? This seems to be most accepted interpretation of some of the Islamic articles of faith. Do you believe a Muslim who has a genuine conversion to Christ should be beheaded as the Quran insists? Does the Quran say it is ok to lie, take oaths, say or do whatever is necessary to non-Muslims until such time as the Islamic population is strong enough to slit the throats of the Non-Islamic peoples where you reside? Will you tell the truth when answering these questions? I pray your eyes and heart will be open to the Truth by these simple questions.
