[QUOTE="soberups, post: 991135, member: 14668"] Do all Christians believe in the Bible? According to the Bible, my wife should be required to go live in a tent in the back yard during her menstrual period. According to the Bible, if I should die then my brother (if I had one) should take my wife as his property. According to the Bible, we should not consume shellfish or pork. According to the Bible, I should not wear clothing at the same time made from two different fabrics According to the Bible, prostitutes or those who worship false idols (Muslims perhaps?) [B]should be put to death by stoning. [/B]I could go on all day, cherry-picking select phrases from the Old Testament to justify whatever outrageous biases or predjudices I might happen to have. A minority of Christians do this all the time. I am sure that a minority of Muslims do also. I have no doubt that there are many obscure passages and phrases in the Koran, advocating violence against nonbelievers, that have been translated into different languages over the centuries. I have no doubt that there are Muslim extremists who will distort and misinterpret the meaning of those phrases to justify appalling acts of violence against non-believers, just as there are Christian bigots who will distort and misinterpret the meaning of those phrases in order to justify their predjudice against Islam (or any other religion) as a whole. At the end of the day, we are still left with the fact that over 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide did not commit an act of terrorism today, nor will they do so tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
