Khaled: Here are few of the verses that require your expert opinion. Or I will call your guarantee useless

Kahaled, you wrote;

>>Post the verses in question and İ will challenge them. İ guarantee you that they have been mis-interpreted by people with no grasp on Arabic (like ‘Dhimmi no more' on this blog)<<

This was part of your reply to my comment ;Muslims like you shamelessly accuse unbelievers of insulting Islam but have nothing to say about the abuse, curses and insults their Allah heaps on us.

I had given you SOME of the verses in question in two posts of mine which you have not adequately answered:

1. I wrote: "You say Islam promotes peace and understanding between people of all faiths. Why then does the Koran curse and abuse people of other faiths calling them najees etc. (2;88, 2:89, 2:161, 4:46, 5:60, 9:30).

2. Why did your prophet threaten the Julanda brothers of Oman with destruction if they did not accept Islam? That threatening letter is still supposed to be exhibited in Sohar fort, Oman. You are from Bahrain, why don't you go have a look, it is a short distance. Your god and your prophet curse and abuse all other faiths. Here are some of the curse/abuse/hate verses: 2:65, 2:88, 2:89, 2:161, 4:47, 9:30. And my all-time favourite verse from the Koran, 9:111.

Start thinking for yourself. Spare us the thoughts of in-depth analysts from sundry web sites. After all the Koran repeatedly claims it is an easy book to understand (14:4, 39:28, 22:2). You claim to be an Arab so the Koran must be an open book for you. Mr. Khaled give us YOUR thoughts on these verses.

Mr. Khaled now I have repeated for you my previous request for your expert opinion regarding these CURSE/ABUSE verses. Let the readers know how they have been mistranslated, misquoted or quoted out of context to corrupt the eternal words of the all-powerful Allah.

While giving us your expert opinion of how the all-powerful Allah's words can be so badly treated and misinterpreted by his creatures, you could also inform us as I had once requested, how Allah's messages can be so badly mangled when He claimed that His words cannot be changed(only words and not His message??).

You have several other comments on my post. I will come back to them after you have given us your expert opinion.

Regards

Plato
