RE: ISIS fighters don't get Islam - and that's really good
I've heard that there are violent passages in the Qur'an, so I appreciate you posting them. To be fair, though, the Bible has some violent passages in it too, but that doesn't make Christianity a violent religion. Context is important, and it's lacking when just a few verses are shared. The other thing to keep in mind is that an outsider to a religion will have a different perspective than a practitioner of the religion. It would be interesting to speak to a practicing Muslim and ask about where those verses fit into the big picture of the religion.
The context here is ISIS. The official propaganda now says that ISIS fighters don't know shit about Qur'an and Islam which is possible. But it's then only scary what they - already extremely violent as they are - would only be doing if they knew Islam better.
U made a very good point
