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 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.
