YOUR QURAN HAD AUTHORIZED MOHAMMAD TO MARRY A SIX YEAR OLD GIRL CALLED AYESHA, BUT HERE IN INDIA WE ARREST AND JAIL PEOPLE WITH THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR!!! IF SOME ONE TRIES TO DESTROY PAGANS PLACE OF WORSHIP OR ABUSE IDOLATORS THEN WE JAIL HIM AS A RIOTER.. IF SOMEONE TRIES TO COLLECT RELIGIOUS TAX WE CALL HIM AS A MAFIA AND JAIL HIM..

You are not from moderate muslims and you do not know what is taught among moderate muslims. You might have learned from muslim teachings from middle east or from muslim extremists and that causes you to know nothing what is taught among moderate muslims. If I would voice out here and there from Quran, you would discover the knowledge that we have is entirely different from knowledge from middle east and/or muslim extremists. Do you find most of the time the teaching in muslim extremists is rather contradictorily but not for moderate muslims if you have found? For example, the Quran shows that Allah is the most merciful and yet they exercise violence, vandalism, riots, burning buildings, causing the whole land full of violence, trouble making and etc. Quran teaches us to do good deeds and to avoid evil deeds and yet they cause harm to non-muslims, riots and etc. Quran mentions that those that do good deeds will go to paradise and yet they kill non-muslims, vandalism, riots and etc. and mention that they could go to paradise by doing evil deeds. They are many more in which you do not realize that muslim extremists act adversely from Quran. You see moderate muslims and muslim extremists and you do not know indeed there are vast discrepancies in the intrepretation of Quran. Check it out from Quran whether the verses below are from Quran:
THE FOLLOWING VERSES PROVE THAT ONLY THOSE THAT DO GOOD DEEDS WILL GO TO PARADISE
Quran 4:57, "But those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do deeds of righteousness, We shall admit them to Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), abiding therein forever. Therein they shall have Azwajun Mutahharatun (purified mates or wives), and We shall admit them to shades wide and ever deepening (Paradise) . "
Quran 4:122, "But those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do deeds of righteousness, We shall admit them to the Gardens under which rivers flow (i.e. in Paradise) to dwell therein forever. Allah's Promise is the Truth; and whose words can be truer than those of Allah? (Of course, none)."
Quran 10:9, "Verily, those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, their Lord will guide them through their Faith; under them will flow rivers in the Gardens of Delight (Paradise). "
Quran 10:89, "Allah said: "Verily, the invocation of you both is accepted. So you both keep to the Straight Way (i.e. keep on doing good deeds and preaching Allah's Message with patience), and follow not the path of those who know not (the truth i.e. to believe in the Oneness of Allah, and also to believe in the Reward of Allah: Paradise)."
Quran 11:11, "Except those who show patience and do righteous good deeds: those, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward (Paradise). "
Quran 11:32, "Verily, those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and humble themselves (in repentance and obedience) before their Lord, they will be dwellers of Paradise to dwell therein forever."
Quran 17:9, "Verily, this Qur'an guides to that which is most just and right and gives glad tidings to the believers (in the Oneness of Allah and His Messenger, Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a great reward (Paradise). "
Quran 2:175, "Those are they who have purchased error at the price of Guidance, and torment at the price of Forgiveness. So how bold they are (for evil deeds which will push them) to the Fire. "
Quran 10:27, "And those who have earned evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed is the like thereof, and humiliating disgrace will cover them (their faces). No defender will they have from Allah. Their faces will be covered as it were with pieces from the darkness of night. They are the dwellers of the Fire, they will abide therein forever. "
Quran 45:21, "Or do those who earn evil deeds think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, in their present life and after their death? Worst is the judgement that they make. "
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE VERSES TO PROVE THAT THOSE THAT DO EVIL DEEDS, SUCH AS, VIOLENCE, RIOTS, VANDALISM AND ETC. WILL GO TO HELL.
Quran 54;3, "They belied (the Verses of Allah - this Qur'an), and followed their own lusts. And every matter will be settled (according to the kind of deeds: good deeds will take their doers to Paradise, and similarly evil deeds will take their doers to Hell).
FROM THE ABOVE VERSES, IT COULD COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT MUSLIM EXTREMISTS THAT DO EVIL DEEDS, SUCH AS, VANDALISM, RIOTS, VIOLENCE AND ETC. WILL GO TO HELL..
You condemn Quran is bad. However, do the above verses sound logically to you that evil deeds go to hell and good deeds go to paradise?
You are not moderate muslims and you do not know what in the minds of moderate muslims and how they interpret the Quran. Your accusation is rather mis-leading.
