If you're gonna read it, at least read the annotated version.

Do good works for Allah; spill blood for Allah's will.

Obviously none of you read the book. I know of no one who has read the Koran impartially and found it to be a hateful or meaningless book. I don't expect a change of belief after a reading but in my expierience those who read the book - in the very least - find a respect for the religion. I would ask that if you feel the need to judge people that you at least find a factual basis upon which to do so instead of simply speaking through your prisim of ignorance.

I got a couple surahs in and got fed up with being told what to do how to think. The contradictions in the book are delightful, the lingo is amusing at first, but I tire of repetition. All and all, I think people should try and read the whole thing, but only for the purpose of being more educated.

for I am oft replying, most wisdomful.

I've researched Islam and the Qur'an. Personally, it isn't brimming with bloodlust and militancy. It reads- for the most part- like a book of laws rather than fables. I'm not saying its perfect but it puts far more emphasis on charity than combat. My comment was about the dichotomy of Islam that is prone to cause confusion.
