I have just begun to read the Koran, I have been curious about the different opinions about this religion and the fact that it is a violent religion, I finally needed to see for myself. I am the least religious person I know I believe organized religion as a farce, but with all the criticizm of Isam I felt that if I choose to criticize this religion which I haven't I should at least be fairly well read on the subject.

My question is has anyone else out there read it and what were there perspectives on the book. Violent religion or misunderstood?

Thanks for the input.
