Oh come on now , you pride yourself on being sensible - yet think anyone has to 'put their ego away' to see why Islamic scriptures are abjured? There's no need to put your ego away to see the obvious. Read it with an ego or without one. The answer is stares the reader in the face - Islam has a hateful, myopic , supremacist 'message'.

"If the conversation is to be dominated by words glazed in animosity, no one will ever benefit. "
How very apt. Now replace the word 'conversation' in the sentence with the word 'Koran' .
