Fellas you're having an extremely interesting discussion; this topic and thread is one of the better ones Ive read through in a while dont let your anger make the mods close it.

If you havent read the Koran its worth the read; Im just about through with it (hopefully the translation is a good one). Thanks for the link. I will respectfully say that there are two angles to go about this topic: 1) from the books themselves or 2) from historical events (the possible multiple versions there can be).

ex- Salem witch trials, Spanish Inquisition, etc vs a possible interpretation of the Bible promoting peace

ex- terrorist attacks, killing of "infidels" vs a possible interpretation of the Koran promoting peace

I think writings from individuals like Lau Tzu are totally different, and I think even though not stated the discussion is geared towards Christianity, Judism, and Islam. I will comment fully once Ive completed reading the Koran; provided this thread is still open. ---Remember a disagreement can occur without having to allow things to go personal. Of course this is only a suggestion and IMO.
