17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil... 19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. 20 On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
The Quran contradicts historical facts such as the death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah. The cross became important only because Jesus died on the cross for all people. While hanging on the cross, Jesus prayed for His enemies, saying: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do."
Forgiveness and love is of God. Unforgiving spirit and hatred is of satan.
God protects Salman Rushdie still.
If the cartoonist has done wrong, God Himself will punish him in His time. We should not take the place of God, because we are not God.
