Dear Dr Pipes, Your reader Mr Hadi asked for a quote from Quran that contains elements of hate. I humbly submit Q5-33. Q5-33 recommends brutal killings of people who challenge Allah or Muhammad. The kind of brutality recommended in 5-33 is not possible without extreme hate. I would prefer a God that would not instruct me to kill on His behalf. It seems that Allah is not that God.
