The more I read the Qu'ran, the more I am convinced that those who live by it will be a constant threat to anyone who does not practice Islam.
While other monotheistic religions leave divine punishment up to their diety, the Qu'ran preaches of literally striking terror into the unbelievers
(3:151). Constantly I am told that I cannot have this viewpoint because it makes me a hypocrit in that I am not also condemning other religions. I have to therefore ask: "What good can come out of a religion in which the punishment for breaking the divine rulings is carried out by the people?"
This is not a radical view of Islam either! This is what is presented. It goes into great detail of how to treat your neighbor with peace and justice, but you then learn that your neighbor is someone who worships Allah.
I do not mean to offend any who practice this religion. This is not my intention. I wish to understand this religion more.
"And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Our commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus the word proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction." (17.16)
