I want to talk about the Qur’an today. I don’t understand why a simple book can create a community with so much hate and anger. Sure, we all have things to be angry about in our lives. But this book seems to really get people going. From the stories that we read in class about Satan and Mary, it seems very similar to stories out of the Catholic bible or other similar bibles.
Now I understand that not everyone who reads this book becomes angry. But, it seems it is the reason or excuse for a lot of destruction in the world. Is it a purely a cultural or ethnic thing or is it from the readings of the Qur’an? How can the world change the ideas of the people that wish pain and destruction of other innocent people?
Maybe it is time for a re-read. In my mind, the bible, the Qur’an, etc. are set up to create peace and a more civilized planet. Muslims are not the only people guilty of using the bible for death and destruction. The Catholic religion was built on a sea of blood. It is just that in this modern day world, I think that killing using the excuse of any God is barbaric.
I mean yes. Right? If you kill people for your religion you're wrong right? But Serbia and Bosnia, countries in Africa, lots of other people have/are killing each other; it's just that the crazy Muslim terrorists are the ones that are attacking the US right now. See? And Christians would probably still be killing others if they didn't have the majority of control :)
