LT- if you think the koran is violent in nature, i suggest you actually read it, and not just nod your head to wat the 700club says about it. i read it, no where it does it sanction the killing of innocent people, they are only suppose to use violence as a last resort, as in war and in some instinces of breaking the law. of course theres different interpretations of it, theres a distorted violent one used by terrorists, and one used by the rest of the worlds 1 billion musslims. do you think 1 billion people are out to get you?
also before you start pointing fingers i suggest you re-read your bible, the old testament is littered with passages of god ordering the genocide of complete nations, death was used for a wide variety of crimes, in the book of revalations in the new testament jesus and the saints appear to be a bunch of sadists getting pleasure from other peoples torments in hell.
