But when you look deeper into the "nice" things these well meaning persons cite from the Koran, it gets more problematic. There are too many other passages which either contradict the texts they mention or were cited selectively and incompletely.<br /><br />I far prefer Muslims Sean M. Brooksnoreply@blogger.com
