Submitted by Vinodgupt (United States), Jan 23, 2006 at 11:21

Mr. Tariq wriote that the Koran can be interpreted in so many different ways.

Please tell us in how many dfferent ways would you interpret the following three verses:

1. "Let believers not make friends with the infidels in preference to the faithful -- he that does this has nothing to hope from god -- except in self defence. God admonishes you to fear him: for to him you shall return." (3:28)

2. The unbelievers are like beasts which, call out to them as one may, can hear nothing but a shout and a cry. Deaf, dumb and blind, they understand nothing." (2:171)

3. Those who deny Our revelations We will burn in Fire. No sooner will their skins be consumed than We shall give them other skins, so thay they may truly taste the scourge. God is mighty and wise." (4:56)
