You are right Mr Sayeed. And you are enlightened enough to see and appreciate contextual significance. However, not all Muslims are seeing things the way you do. Hence when literal meanings are taken and when interpretations are provided that prevent any other way of viewing the Quran Sharif, trouble starts. When no one among Muslims condemns violence or terrorism, all are seen to be complicit in it. Hope you will go about educating your brethren and the rest of the world. I appreciate your viewpoint but unfortunately, actions speak louder.
