You should read the Koran, and get back to me on that peaceful part.
you should read the bible and tell me its completely peaceful. Both books are pretty violent. I find it funny that you are hating on the Qur'an when parts of the bible are just as bad, yet for some reason Christianity is a peaceful religion, and Islam is not.
Also, youre saying muslims arent peaceful because the Qur'an isnt. Isn't it possible to only believe certain things from the Qur'an? I would hope you think so, because im sure you dont believe everything in the bible.
All religions have/had traits of barbaric behavior, or various punishments that are frowned upon today in the 21st century.
