Yawn. More religion bashing using completely out-of-context scripture quotes. This tactic is old and tired.
Anyway. I've been studying up on Islam as of late, and I'm starting to question if it's anything like what I've (we've, non-Muslims) been led to believe.
The Western Propaganda Machine is a powerful tool indeed.

As a Muslim ill tell you this is completely misquoted , firstly where are you sourcing your information?
Please provide links.
Then ill refute everything you have posted.
No, then you need to read your bible again
I provide the passage numbers, looks it up.
I speak arabic myself.. So I guarantee its correct
if you copy and paste information on ATS you have to provide the link.
your information is copy and pasted. Now provide a link.
I don't care if you speak arabic that means nothing! Extremists speak arabic to yet they misunderstand ,twist verse and add innovation. Whats your point?
No I have not twisted anything, the ones that are "twisting" things are the one that preach it... They kill in Allāh´s name, as the qur'anic tells them to, but when someone question the qur'anic motives they are being told they are the ones twisting things..
A peaceful religion ??

Doesn't quite matter which camp the extremists lay in.
The OP is specifically citing the Koran. What does Deuteronomy have to do with it? If you're implying that the Christian bible is as equally violent, say so. You don't hear about people getting stoned to death so at least those extremes can be overcome. Although, I do known some Christians that like to get stoned .

No matter the religion .... as long as ANYONE adheres to bronze age religious fanaticism, there will not be peace on Earth.
Agreed. Christians always seem to forget that during there "jihad" (Armageddon) they get to kill all the nonbelievers too. Truth is Christians don't actually believe what they Chaim to and that's the only difference......
Oh forgot about the snake handlers and monsters who watch their kid die while attempting faith healing...those idiot really do believe.
Christians dont get to kill anybody.........what do you mean?

Deuteronomy 17 New International Version (NIV)
17 Do not sacrifice to the Lord your God an ox or a sheep that has any defect or flaw in it, for that would be detestable to him.
2 If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the Lord gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the Lord your God in violation of his covenant, 3 and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars in the sky, 4 and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, 5 take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death. 6 On the testimony of two or three witnesses a person is to be put to death, but no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness. 7 The hands of the witnesses must be the first in putting that person to death, and then the hands of all the people. You must purge the evil from among you.

Nice propaganda there bub.
If you are truly an atheist then why would you possibly not be quoting all of the "holy" books?
There are all sorts of horrors in the other books.
One religious cult even claims to be the master race!
Religion, one of the most deadly tools in the arsenal.

I won't comment on the Quran quotes, since it is stupid to consider them evidence.
If you read the Old Testament, it tells you basically the same stuff (violence, praying to false gods should be punished etc.).... plus killing all the first borns in Egypt etc.
But the Islamic religion consist of 23.2% of the world population I see that as a major problem to world peace.
