Reader comment on item: Saudis Import Slaves to America
in response to reader comment: Quotes that Islam teaches peace!

Submitted by student of islam (United States), Sep 25, 2014 at 09:26

... nowhere in the koran is the concept of love discussed. nowhere. quit lying to people about what that book says. you can only find love in the koran if you take liberties with your translation of it.
