for what purpose?

Let us assume I were to read the koran, in Arabic, cover to cover, and then went out an killed a Jew, or Christian , or infidel. Mohammed, it is the acts of the followers of a religion that defines the religion. The acts of the Muslams cannot be condemned by non Muslams, they are simply acting out the instructions given to them by Muhammed and their god. The koran is believed to have been actually written by god by the Muslams. If the koran says to kill, then killing is permitted. Once you make a leap of faith to be a "Good Muslam", then the way of the Taliban is open to you. Why not? your god says its good to kill women, Jews, Christians. To deny all others freedom , to act out the narrative of Islam is to act out violence.
