Again - you're indulging in comparitive religion which I'll ignore. You believe strongly that Quran is the word of God and that it's perfect. That is my problem. I'm saying that no book is perfect - the Gita or the Quran or the Bible - to the word since they all need interpretation. If they were perfect, why were we all not born with all that knowledge prebuilt. Why are we having all this difference of opinions. Was Allah or Vishnu or God or Shiva fooling around with us all by not imbibing all these commandments directly into us? Think about it. Isn't this dischord the single biggest problem in the whole wide world. Think of the amount of progress all mankind could have made if it were not for this single discord. I have a problem with some aspects all religions although I'm not an atheist nor a communist nor even an anti-religious person. I have big problems with Islam because of reasons mentioned in a posting above. These 2 factors are not unique to Islam but are stronger and more prevelent to it. But an Islamist (both muslim and non muslim) will point to other religions and say there are questionable beliefs there as well but the point is about the enormity of the threat.
