Krista: Thank you so much for sending a response to me on the Koran. There is a lot of controversy among the people in all nations. Totally agree, there are some very beautiful passages in the Koran, as you have listed, but very troubling anti-peace scriptures as well. The fact that it says to kill any Jew that falls into your power, is an irrational statement. It doesn't clarify why either, just any Jews. I have also read that it is the goals of this religion to force the world to accept the Koran, and to slaughter any one who does not submit or accept the religion.

Islamic women are treated like dogs, even attacked and murdered, for wearing the wrong clothes, or marrying a man the father cannot accept,. There are now Honor Killings in America, which is definitely against our laws, and considered 1st degree murder. This is a violent Religion and one that needs to be understood and investigated. Many muslims I know do not agree with killing all Jews or other people, who do not submit to the Koran. I am going to read Walid Shoebat's book WHY WE WANT TO KILL YOU. This should be informative, since Shoebat is a former PLO terrorist, who converted to Christianity, and used to blow people up for a living, as he put it. He is now an ambassador for Christ, after his wife convinced him to read the bible. I appreciate your correspondence and concern!

Thanks, Debbie
