"And we honor all those whose lives were lost by promoting, praising, implementing, and imposing the ideology that called for their deaths, and by silencing anyone who dares question the insane ramblings of an illiterate, seventh-century Arabian caravan robber." ~Keir Starmer

Zohran was very concerned that the Boston Marathon bomber was not told about his right to remain silent

Yeah, wow, I guess those verses aren’t in the Qur’an after all, eh?

Yeah, quoting stuff is so dishonest

Robert Spencer You are THE MAN. I keep your book by my side. The most important learning I have is the Hudaybiyyah, what I'll call the Islamic doctrine of the sleeper-cell. Must read. amazon.com/dp/1642936235

You asked for scholars. So I gave you scholars. Now you’re whining about “context.” So I take it that you reject these scholars and others like them? Are you a heretic?

No, you’re getting it wrong. You’re supposed to say I’m taking the verses out of context.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No. I’m insulting the programmers.

You abjectly failed to demonstrate that anything I’ve written about Islam is false, and had to fall back on clumsy insults of people you don’t even know and empty ad hominems. Yes, this has been enjoyable indeed.

Cerebral contex?

You seem to be under the impression that I wrote the Qur’an. I’ve joked about doing so since I published a new translation and commentary on it, but in fact, I did not write the Qur’an.

Corey J. Mahler First of all, the Bible clearly states that Jesus was a Jew. In John 4:9, it says: “The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, ‘You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?’” Jesus never

Great. Please provide the context that shows that these verse do NOT mean to kill anyone, and explain why so many Muslims seem to misunderstand them and engage in jihad violence anyway.

The Quran is Islamophobic folks!

Robert Spencer The most misunderstood book in history - the Qur'an. Everyone also seems to misunderstand it by unaliving non-believers. Further, I have seen zero clerics ever decrying such atrocities. It would seem we'd see more of that...given the centuries of misunderstanding and countless
