This is the start of new series on this blog: Is This Your Book? Each post will give controversal passage(s) from a book I am passively familiar with - meaning that I am no expert. I may not understand the context or nuances of the passages I am bringing up. This week are passages from the Quran that I have to admit seem to mean that I should be killed by Muslims who trying to follow the teachings of Muhammad. Obviously, not all Muslims believe these things are commanding violence agains Non-muslims, but how do they understand the context of these passages. I would appreciate any comments or recommendations for contents to explain what these passages actually mean if they do not mean what some Muslims like Al Quaida and Hamas and Boka Haram seem to think they mean. Why are you right and they are wrong? I appreciate the help in understanding these as I should understand them. Thanks to all.
