Hi Mr. Mathews,
Just to let you know, I am not a (Christian) in the sense you and most people think of a (Christian) and I don’t read the bible
except when i was a lad. But that is a story for another time.
You said: “I have read the Qur’an, sir. I read it a long time ago, long before 9/11.
I have also read the Bible. Would you like to compare the two?
We can play a little game: For every violent verse you find in the Qur’an, I will find a violent verse in the Bible.
This is a little contest which I offer to all ignorant, illiterate bigots.
Would you care to play this little game?”
Yes you probably have read the Qur’an, have you put it to the test with the hadiths(prophet mo’s sayings) and the sunnha (what prophet mo did)?
That is when the qur’an becomes a book for terrorists. In the bible, there are versus where god says to kill but those versus, where for a specific time,
place and people and were not an open ended command to kill, as they are in the qur’an like [9:29] “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
So this sura alone says muslims need to fight Christians and jews (People of the Book) until we 1.Convert to islam. 2.Pay Jizya (tax for not converting and to keep the muslims from attacking us.) refusel to pay the tax would mean they hace every right to kill me.
And, what about all of the free speach groups like cair are trying to stop. They have tried to stop Mr. Spencer a couple of times, and failed.
Just look around the USA and see just what CAIR is up to and doing. AND, even if I did not like muslims as some would say, just exactly how does that make me a bigot? Being a muslim is not being a member of a race, as being arab. Our complaint is with muslims who read the qur’an in a literal sense and act on those commands, like OBL. Have you been listing to OBL and a lot of muslims who support him. They recite the qur’an and sunnah with every speach so the faithful will know these are allahs commands.
