enigma, unless you are an Islamic cleric, (Usama bin Laden is not a cleric) perhaps your interpretations of the Qur'an are wrong. This verbatim quote from a lengthy pamphlet given out by a local Christian church, and the pamphlet paints a picture of a tolerant Islam. "One of the disciplines for the study of the Qur'an is exclusively dedicated to the study and documentation of acceptable and unacceptable variant readings. According to Muslim scholars, there are some 40 possible readings of the Qur'an, of which 7 to 14 are legitimate. The legitimacy of different possible interpretations of the scripture is supported by a statement in the Qur'an that describes verses as either unambiguously clear, or as ambiguous because they carry a meaning known only to God. Therefore, with the exception of a small number of unquestionably clear injunctions, the meaning of the Qur'anic verses is not alway's final." IC
