I just had to enter the fray as this appears to have developed into a debate between those who may have read the Quran and those who have not.

The Quran, like the Torah and the Christian bible contain a number of very positive morals and principals that all of mankind should follow. Now the fact that some politicians and others chose to corrupt the words contained in the Quran does not make Islam bad. There is no such thing as an evil muslim. But there are evil people.

The newpapers and media in most western countries (and many politicians) routinely lie about what is written within the Quran as it sells their products. The only way to find the truth is to read all of the Quran yourself. I have read many fundamentalist magazines that a daughter of a friend kept before they left for Afghanistan in the late 1990s. The fundamentalist magazines leave me with the same disgust as many European and US newspapers. They are based on lies and distortions of the truth.

I do not follow any religion but have read (and own) a Quran and the Old Testament. I can't be bothered to read the new testament as it will probably just contain the same morals though I realise that this may be ignorant of me.
