You suggest that I read the Koran. I have read it. Actually, I have read it in several different translations. I have also read the Bible, and read all those funny little extra books the Catholics put in it. I've read the Mahabarata, and keep a copy of the Bhagavad Gita round. There are even a number of Buddhist scriptures that I've looked into.
Between Jesus telling the disciples to arm themselves just before the Crucifixion and Mohammad encouraging his disciples to battle pagans, there are world's of commentary.
BTW, if you are a pagan, Mo meant "you", not "me"; so, are you a pagan? Frankly, I believe paganism is incompatible with the American forms of law, just like the ACLU view of religion in life is equally incompatible with the American forms of law and our ancient customs.
One of the great mysteries is why the various Islamic councils in America do not speak up against the ACLU, a veritible heart of paganism. Possibly they don't quite understand that group. On the other hand, if Moslems in the US agree with the ACLU, that's probably a pretty good reason to depart them and outlaw the ACLU, eh?!

Let's try this one again: "You suggest that I read the Koran. I have read it. Actually, I have read it in several different translations. I have also read the Bible, and read all those books in the Canon that Martin Luther decided to pull out."
