In a word, yes.

The Koran also states:
Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabians, and the Christians whoever believes in Allah and the last day and does good they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve.

Which comes off to me sounding like as long as you believe in Allah even for one day at the end all is well.
Sounds about right. Each religion has its own cop-out come the last day anyway.

Etc, etc. Like any other religious book, it's filled with good and bad, and a lot that is contradictory. The Holy Bible also states to rape women and take child brides, it's not as if this kind of ridiculous talk is exclusive to the Koran.

Except mainstream Christians have been over that for hundreds of years, where as it is now 2009 (TWO THOUSAND AND EFFING NINE, MAN!) and this is still prevalent in mainstream Islam.
So I stand by my point that in roughly equal time, Islam is still in the dark-ages and Christianity is not.

My girlfriend is Muslim and was taught a largely pacifist brand of Islam. She doesn't want to kill me, and I'm a filthy Agnostic. Nuke them, lol. I would love to insult you right now, but I don't want an infraction. Needless to say, I won't take seriously another dumb ass word you type on here.

Your perogative.
BTW, does she still have her clitoris?
