The contents of your reference are very biased. The article as a whole is chockful of misinformation. It was probably written by a rabid Jew masquerading as a non-Jew! The author was cowardly in not appending his/her name. An instance of misinformation is the statement that the US is helping the Palestinians to perpetrate violence and mayhem in the Middle East. On the contrary, it is the US that is aiding Israel (Zion) to the tune of $2bn. a year for reasons that are only too well known. I am surprised at you for having posted such an article. An act of ingratiation, eh?

Such flaming of other people's religion is not a good way to support your position in any argument. Or whatever it is you think you are doing. The koran is an unholy book, written by a demon possessed fruitcake called Muhammed. Right. And the Testaments are... what? An "unholy book" with bloody stories of massacre, incest, etc, written not even by a bastard whose mom so did not know the father than she had to say it was "God", but others who thought he was the son of God? I do not mean the above. I wrote it to show you that such inflammatory remarks can be made about any religion. And it is a very dumb way to inflame the already sensitive issue of religious differences. On September 17, 2001, GW Bush, the republican conservative christian, came on national television and read from the koran, a book of death, to your children and to my children. That is an abomination before the L-rd, and it is not what any follower of G-d would EVER, under ANY circumstances, ever do. Ah OK. Then the God or any of its followers would do or write about, say the story of Lot and his virgin daughters, whom he offered to the soldiers who were banging on his door, to do as they pleased (read: gang rape), if only they would stop banging on his door? What a father. Must be why the virgin girls in question thought it appropriate to seduce their father later on. Or let us take the story of Elisha - A devout religious man, Elisha is really disturbed with children making fun of his bald head. So disturbed, in fact, that he prays to God about it, and God sends down two she-bears to tear thirty-something little children into bloody bits. Just because they made fun of a religious man's bald head. Tell me if these events would be "acceptable", in whatever criteria the author expects stories in a "holy" book to be. I am equidistant from all religions. However, I read all three major religious books. If you also read them one day, you will see is one is no better than the other in terms of blood and gore, not to mention some acts quite unacceptable to any civilized person in our day and age. The point is that those books were written a long time ago, for a very different audience. And there are people in our day who still believe in them. People have to respect the religious beliefs of one another. That is all there is to it.
