>I have not read the Koran since its in Arabic. However, those that have say that's not true. Its a lie spread by westerners and terrorist Muslims.

I've read an English translation from cover to cover, and though that language is a bit exaggerated, it's more or less true.

However, taken in a proper historical context, the Koran was written during a time of constant war among the tribes in the Middle East, and it's not surprising to see language like that in there. Religion is what its followers make of it -- if only a small percentage of Muslims take that line literally, it's not that big of a deal.
