>for example "According to Islam, a pagan is anybody who is not a Muslim" is incorrect...with a flub of even such a basic premise, no wonder you utilize verses out of context to prove why over a billion people are not hating anyone and are peacefully living their lives...

Oh I love the Pakistani topos of "context"

But wait; and who is really a wathani and who is really a mushrik and who is really a mulhid and who is really a kafir? And it is an open book examination. Hint: non Muslims and under certain conditions also some Muslims and as if we infidles care

The Arabic? you should know by now that I do not translate Arabic for wannabe Arabs

But wait: Muslims kiss a stone called al-ka3bba and revere and kiss a copy of the Qur'an right? Hint: paganism
