... Have you ever heard of Sufis? ... Isn't every religion very different among it's various permutations among it's adherents? You have Orthodox Jews, reformed Jews, conservative Jews, liberal Jews. Are they all reading a different Torah (voice shaking, and whole body trembling)

Christians, you think Episcopal and Baptist are the same? Are they reading different books? ... Seriously, If anyone accused all Jews as being the same, they would be shouted down as anti-Semites. If it applies to them it applies to others.

You don't know what the Quran says either. There is nothing as vile as the book of Joshua, which celebrates the genocidal annihilation of a dozen cities. They murdered every man woman, and child, and most of the animals. And, there's not a moment of reflection, hesitation, it's pure bloodlust. But, if you have a Iyat that bothers you, post it, and I bet you've taken it out of context. Actually, I bet someone else took it out of context. And, when you see it in context, you will feel betrayed. Let's test it!
