9/11 terrorists incinerated 3000 world trade center victims using quran. Zarqawi beheads innocent civilians reciting quranic ayas. Alqueda declared jihad against iraqi shias using quran. Pakistani suicide bombers kill mosque goers using quran. Chechen muslims raped innocent Beslan children in between their five prayers loudly reciting quran. VanGogh's killer attached quranic ayas on his body after beheading him. Palestinian suicide bombers kill israeli innocent civilians using quran. Muslim insurgents suicide bomb iraqi muslim civilians daily using quran. Indonesian jihadis bombed australians in Bali using quran. Jihadis spread terror all over the world using quran (check out jihadi world wide terror on "thereligionofpeace.com" and jihadwatch.org)

...
Mr Akhtar , it does not matter how many interpretations quran may have, there is no denying that it promotes hatred and violence. You are right, islam needs reformation.But reformation cannot come unless all the violent ayas and the violence from Mohammed's biographies are removed. Who is ready to take that step , are you? Then get ready to be killed by true believers of quran.

Yes Mr. Akhtar as long as muslims will continue to believe in that violent book , they will be disliked. One billion muslims are not hated for the violence perpetrated by a few thousand muslims, they are hated for their belief in that book and the ideology it promotes. You may deny all you want but the 87 concilliatory Mecca chapters were abrogated by the 27 violent and belligerant Madina chapters and all real muslims ( whom you call wahabis) know it and will believe in it to their last breath.
