Thank you, I was worried that people actually believed that the Quran wasn't hostile vs non-muslims.
A few questions for OP:
- Do you think it's
logical 'Allah' would choose a man like Mohammed (who was, iirc, very sinful in his actions, e.g.: multiple wifes, including 9 year old aicha, violent man (vs jews for example) to communicate the 'Word of God'?
- How does Islam views the Christian Holy Trinity?
- When I was in Egypt a while back, I watched a little bit of Quran on TV, where presumably an Imam was reciting the Quran. I heard some stories that I recognized from the Bible, but that were 'twisted' to make the chosen Jewish people look bad, weak and scared. Do you agree with this view, or was this clearly not the case? If you agree, did you find some more passages that looked more like emotional influenced sayings that purely divine/rational sayings?
