What the Koran says:

Just because you have answered an emotional blog with a seemingly calm and reasoned response doesn't mean a lot to me. I have been researching Islam since the outbreak of Islamic violence over the Danish cartoons; and I find a lot of similarity between those 12 cartoons and your advice to "take a good honest look in what the quran says".

Explanation: There were 15 cartoons in the folder Islamic imams used to inflame Muslims (15 - 12 = 3 : as in 3 cartoons created by Islamics to inflame Muslims) and you asked me to read the Koran while telling me that "any vague english mis-translation can throw anyone off", i.e. your word should supercede my English translation of the Koran. Thank you; but no thank you. My copy of the Koran still says to "go out and kill all the non-believers."
