Reading parts of the Bilbe can also give you a rather strange Point of view
"But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me." (Lukas 19,27)

It is not the Bible or Koran alone, it is the people who interpret those books. There are assholes who interpret the Bible in a strange way and there are assholes who interpret the Koran in a strange way. Sadly those are in Power
