for those of you who seem to think that by merely reading the Quran and literally interpreting it is as easy as ABC, then you got something else coming. even though you can read it and comprehend its meaning, its not for anyone to lift unbased judgements from. there are rules and sciences dedicated to this art which takes many years to master.
even the most knowledgeable of scholars and commentators in the muslim world on the Quran and islamic texts do not call their own interpretations of the Quran as fact since man is not free from error. they accept their efforts in trying to interpret the Quran as merely that, an effort based on the various sciences of jurispedence based on authentic sources. however, it is their humble opinion.
one such scholar who would be unknown to most here, but is known by virtually every muslim is Ibn Kathir. his works consists of thousands of pages of commentary on the quran. works have been made to interpret his works, works have been done to interpret theirs and so on and so forth. so for someone to just read the Quran and interpret it literally for themselves for their ownself indulgence or to knitpick, then they are doing themselves an injustice.
should your really want to know the Quran, then do yourself a favour and pick up the Quran. Then ask a muslim on their take on what it means, look at it from a muslim viewpoint as well as a non muslim viewpoint. read books from both sides ofthe story, because any text can be interoreted to mean just about anything you want it to depending on what you REALLY want to believe. i'm sure mr churchill had his beliefs skewed by his times and his lack of knowledge of islam, its sciences and its laws.
those that read the Quran literally and knitpick are doing nothing better than binladen himself who's literal intretation of the Quran is skewed in the other direction.
