And Muhammad's strategy was to punctuate a lot of bad stuff with the sentence "Allah is merciful".
Reader comment on item: The Left Distorts Breivik's Mental World
in response to reader comment: Mahomet - the greatest mass murderer and evil-doer of all times
Submitted by Prashant (United States), Aug 11, 2012 at 00:57
The problem is that even the bad or selfish advice in Quran is punctuated by the sentences like "Allah knows the best" and "Allah is merciful". That makes it very difficult to separate what is good in Quran from what is bad. And, I do not know why Allah likes to address himself in third person.
