Zala's speculation trump history and knowledge

The most important and revealing statement in your contribution to the Pipes' website is the following:

"While I haven't read the Qur'an in detail, I guarantee you all, that within the Qur'an you will find somewhere the same basic ten commandments as in the Bible".

Perfect! While you haven't read the Qur'an, you know exactly what is in it. And while you haven't read the Bible, you just know that it is another one of those dangerous books. Listen you self appointed religious expert! The Bible does not say that if you don't believe in a Christian God, you will "BURN IN HELL". And if you think it does, prove it. And if a "respected Christian Theologist", according to you, stated that Gandhi will burn in hell; his foolish opinion does not make it true.

You sir, are like a few contributors to this website; you take your personal views and opinions without any proof and state them as if they are the truth. You state that the Christian (Western) World would probably be the single biggest Criminal here. How about some examples, some history, some authentic references! Not necessary sir, is it? After all you said so! Your constant references to "Common Sense" is foolish, as your article clearly reveals that the most important ingredient lacking is "Common Sense". Maybe, we should burn all our history books and build our knowledge about history according to your wise speculations.
