If you are an Islamic scholar please work with other Islamic scholars and change the existing translations so they reflect your version of Koran. cj

IGIT: VIOLENCE IN THE BIBLE AND THE KORAN: The purpose of the last 3 posts of mine were to suggest that there is plenty of VIOLENCE in the bible, and not just the Koran. These are ancient writings of a distant time. It was a VIOLENT time, just as this is a VIOLENT time. I do not think it behooves any of us to be critical of another person's path based on such "evidence". This kind of stuff is far removed from the core message of any serious religion. Just because of the inclusion of what is essentially historical and near "myth-like" material, the whole message should not be dismissed or trashed. I am interested to know what people consider the "core message" of Islam to be. Equally Christianity. I've already described the core message of my Path. Could we perhaps find if there are any commonalities? Namaste! Jim
