Yeah, burn_this_city didn't cherry pick at all. Easily the best and most solid post I've seen him write on CP.

I've never read the Koran, but I figure its really similar to how the Bible is written....meaning someone could pick and choose certain lines and use it to serve their agenda.
And like the Bible....the religions that follow it have their extremists, and their non-extremists.

I picked up a Koran at McNally Robinson one day and turned to a random page which said "Do not befriend the Jews or Christians for they are unholy and not to be trusted."
I turned to another random page, and something else along those lines came up.
A third, same.
A fourth, same.
After turning to the fifth random page which included some rant about how Allah condems the killing of non-believers, I shut the book, put it down, and walked away probably a lot more racist than I was before I picked it up.
To borrow a phrase from someone I knew like 10 years ago...I say nuke the s.

Personally I think its a bigger problem that the moderate community is being so quiet about this.

If the moderates have no backbone and their neighbours can be turned on them in an instant (using mob mentality and such) then who would want to stand up to them? Especially if they can make you just dissappear?
Islam is a fundamentally weak religion.
