"It was a breed and fight or die life. You are over-rating "basic human decency and common sense".

I have not over rated anything. There is nothing that deserves a higher rating by a human being that the noblest human condition of common decency, which prescribes goodness and a positive regard for self and others, including other creatures. It is common sense in that it is an inborn sense common to the human condition. At least I've never met a human being that couldn't make sense of it.

"Most people are NOT decent and are keen to take property from others against their will and will otherwise boss them and be dominant. You can see that in electoral results around the world, decade after decade.

So what. I figure ninety eight percent of you are disgusting hypocritical liars. Most of you are able to carry on the facade of polite civility, while some out on the extremes are heinous criminals. We can all be polite and civil when we choose even your lot, who've chosen the dog eat dog perspective.

"The authentic message of the Koran ...

No surprise that you would excuse your filthy outlook on life by corrupting scripture to find ways of blaming your scuzzy world view on a beneficent God. None what so ever. In fact it may be the popular thing to do ... you might be on the in crowd with swarms and hordes of people buddy!!! Woopee.
