In the context of history, the "Koran" is very clear ...

It has been played out very clearly to those who objectively "read" history from within the unconfined realm of a free nation. The "free" part is flying south, but that doesn't mean all of us have bought into the late bought into and highly orchestrated fiasco of politics and religious beliefs within Islam.

I have seen the efforts of Arab countries to tell all the rest of the world, that it needs to stay out of Arab/Muslim business. That is fine as long as Islam stays out of the "rest of the world's business". Unfortunately, Islam hasn't ever chosen to stay out of the rest of the world. For one, despite all their wealth, they can't seem to employ even a sizable fraction of their population or see to the needs of their own poor and desperate. Where do you see in that any religion of any value? The Muslims have moved en masse to European nations and infested them with their own brand of outletting the rage they initially felt towards the ex-leaders of their ex-nations.

Instead of the "love" and "peace" that a few seem to think dominates Islam, we have a transported population that is full of rage and hatred now in Europe. Well, now, Allah has a new view on what is "peaceful" and "loving". They move in with smiles on their faces, and then take exception to everything that isn't culturally or religiously Islamic. And when they take "exception" to their new microcsom, the whole world pays. How convenient a religion this is for Muslims.

For one thing, Islam likes western money and can't face up to the responsibilities of having a very crucial resource to world commerce. The Arab world has always been lazier that the rest of the world when it comes to education. That played out in Lebanon where the more numerous Christians developed "education" and invited the Muslims to join in on gthe benefits. For the most part, the Muslims chose to stay back and make babies until the Christians allowed the palestinians to escape the Arab manipulated wars and PLO problem. Throw in a little of Iran's carefully trained Hezbullah into the salt shaker, and presto we have another stab-in-the-back Muslim/Arab scenario.

I don't easily fall for a lie no matter how carefully orchestrated. I don't care for fashionable beliefs either.
