This thread is to serve as a resource for information about Islam and to try to shed some light on some verses in The Holy Qur'an. In particular, verses that have been taken out of context or translated in a twisted manner.

It is not the goal of this thread to philosophize, question the wisdom of, or try to edit the Holy Qur'an.... NOT BY ANY MEANS. There is a big difference between that and searching for the meaning of its verses.
The goal here is what is stated, to provide links to resources and debunk misrepresentations of Quran and Islam and clarify misunderstandings of it.
One either believes that the Holy Quran is the word of God and accepts ALL of it as such, or does not. Picking and choosing is tantamount to not accepting it as the word of God as revealed to His Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
I have blocked some people who were doing just that. One such person is Addi, soroush, sstevenson, mrstevenson, mr_stevenson and mister_stevenso.
I will keep updating the original post to include more links.
This thread is moderated for I have no time nor the desire to get sucked into protracted circumlocutory arguments. Nor do I wish to indirectly help disseminate misunderstandings of Islam.
I have been accused of manipulating the readers on this thread... I am not really sure how is that possible...! furthermore, I don't think anyone here is a minor and vulnerable to being manipulated... nor are the readers of SI simpletons ......
the basis for the accusation is my blocking some people whom I felt were not at all interested in learning, but rather posting defamatory misrepresentations of the Holy Qur'an to antagonize Muslims and create hatred towards them from non-Muslims... and it is really beyond me why does someone insists on wanting to post to this thread when they have other threads to post to what they want, and can even create a whole new thread!
I make no claim to be an authority on anything, mind you Islam I will try to answer what I can, and say I dont know when I dont know I suggest to everyone to utilize the links in the original post I will look for more links, especially one with the explanation of the whole Quran and the reasons behind every verse in it.
