I read where it says to not make friends with a Jew or a Christian. Did you read that in the koran?

Did you know that TV in Iran and in Palestine show children killing Jews in cartoons and tell them to be martyrs?

What does this verse mean?

"Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve (8:55)".

My understanding is that Jews, Christians and Muslims are all "people of the book" aka believers. I could be incorrect....

I would agree with you. Read the Koran some time. Do you know what it says about women? Read this link:

The Koran instructs men to beat their wives: Six translations of Qur'an 4:34

Deu 22:28 ¶ If a man find a damsel [that is] a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
Deu 22:29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.


1 Corinthians 14:34:
Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in
submission, as the Law says.


1 Timothy 2:11:
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.


1 Corinthians 11:5:
And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head--it is just
as though her head were shaved.

Oh crap. I picked up the wrong book.
My bad.

LOL

People tend to forget the sex of the people who were actually writing the books.

There you go again taking the old testament and combining it with the new. Your dishonesty just can't be helped can it. Those verses are talking about behavior in the church, not at home.

Where is the part in the New Testament that says Christian men are to beat their wives? Find it.

Somehow I missed this post... hmm...

The Koran is a large book... I have not read it all. Have you?

I imagine there is more than one television station in Iran and in Palestine, although I really don't know. I am not a fan of television and don't watch it. Where are you getting your information?

Isn't it all the bible??? old and new??

The verses look like they pertain to behavior outside of church as well as inside.
