"select verses"
What is the number of murder verses it takes before the quran is considered a murder manual?
Also: Your argument has been much more predicated on moral equivalency than the quran is good. But since you've qualified that the Bible is not a murder manual, you can drop the moral equivalency schtick. It's obviously just meant to be a distraction, then.
Regardless of whether that is true or not; I've over-viewed the quran and I can attest that the violence against non-muslims is extremely prevalent and that it is a core tenant of the dogma. You know as well as I do that an attack on avante is hinging an argument on ad hominem.
i would say it should be the primary tenet/message
i dont know that i put up a moral equivalency shtick. i'm just saying if you're going to accept a certain piece of evidence to criticize islam, it would only be consistent to do the same for all other religions, including christianity.Also: Your argument has been much more predicated on moral equivalency than the quran is good.

avante isn't to be taken seriously because he's never shown a shred of intellectual honestly. he constantly makes things up, is called out on it, and pretends it never happened. he regurgitates the same things, year after year, despite having been demonstrably proven wrong on certain things. he's not worth engaging because it's never a conversation. it's talking to a wall who has pre-programmed responses to everything.
you aren't too far off, tbh. anytime you're pushed to verify a claim, you play the redpill card
So, you somehow think that warmongers who killed en masse sent out a message to not kill nonbelievers en masse? You're wrong, btw. I don't keep quran verses at the ready to prove it right away; but do you see how ing re ed your assumption is?
But to be fair; you are being definitive; and I can at least respect that (compared to other BS that goes on here).
Also says there is no compulsion in religion.
And if you're going to find contradictory passages, I'm sure you'll have no trouble doing so. Religious texts tend to be littered with them. And if you're going to say its hypocritical to say there's no compulsion in religion while also punishing apostates, I'd agree with you. It's moronic.
It's true that infidels/non-believers are second-rate citizens in islamic rule. They have to pay an infidel tax. I'ts absurd.
A contradiction on the limits of Muslims killing Muslims? Maybe there are some in the quran (maybe not). There is no contradiction when it comes to the subjigation of Kaffir (non Muslims) and ultimate killing of them if they do not submit. It's a pretty sound doctrine. You said it yourself; it's a book made by warmongers; wtf would you expect?
