To Sohail: All mixed up

You have not answered my question. I asked whether that intolerant statement by Allah was the reason for apostates being slaughtered in Muslim countries. The verse does not prohibit killing apostates. The Prophet's immediate shahaba had no compunction in killing apostates and atheists. They must have got the interpretation right.

Because the Bible is racist is it acceptable for Muslims also to be racist?

What is wrong with the caste system? Your Koran says that Allah created women to be lesser beings than men and so can be thrashed and made prisoners at home of men. Similarly Hindus say the lower castes are born in that state because of their deeds in a previous life. What is you grouse about the Hindu caste system? And remember you can also keep slaves who can be bought and sold in the open market!
