The Quran is Not Demonic

Against the wishes of my Christian friends, I read part of the Quran today, thinking I would find it demonic and vile etc... to my surprise, it reads like the Bible. the second chapter even mentions Christians and Jews in a good light although it is a bit confusing, and even mentions that they can find Paradise. Therefore the rumours about Muslims having to kill an infidel to get into Muslim Paradise are false.

My question is: 'What is all the fuss about?' There is nothing to fear if your faith is strong enough.

And, isn't this the Lord's Prayer said in a slightly different way:

Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds;

Most Gracious, Most Merciful;

Master of the Day of Judgment.

Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek,

Show us the straight way,

The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.

Oh - and I am convinced that some measure of evolution has happened to make humans although the evolution story has its faults... There, I feel so much better now.

nice job there

seriously, i applaud you for going outside the box and actually learning about the religion through the religion instead of through third party sources

the bible and the koran are very similar...though both have their unique...wackiness for lack of a better word.

i read through it a while back, found it to be a bit of a boring read in general, but an informative one.
