Indoctrination into Islam

Submitted by Sara Schmidt (United States), Aug 19, 2014 at 14:25

Lila, you have been successfully indoctrinated (brainwashed) to see Islam in only the most positive aspects. You are not being objective, only reading an believing what you (they) want you to believe. I assume you are very familiar with the Qur'an, so how do you explain all the calls to violence against the non-believer? How do you account for the concept of love being nearly absent from the Qur'an? How do you explain the fact that it tells men that they can beat their wives? Etc, etc,
