Foxy, your 'anti Proxy' post was mean spirited.

Dear Al,

Bit of a double standard -
you're advocating.

I was merely responding to Proxy's
remark made to myself and Mikk about
" being surrounded
by books - without having the capacity
to learn."

Foxy:"Bit of a double standard -
you're advocating."

*snigger*

Dear Antiseptic,

Only reply if you have something
new to add.

Foxy,
I'm surprised that the library system doesn't possess a copy of the Koran.
Surely this can be the only explanation for your apparent lack of understanding of what the Koran actually says.
Or did you start to read the book and it's turgidity put you off?
Might I recommend:
"The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran",
by Robert Spencer?
You are, after all, an infidel according to the Koran,
so this book would be a logical first step.
Failing that, might I recommend:
Robert Spencer's Qur'an commentary @
http://www.jihadwatch.org/quran-commentary.html
President and Founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) M. Zuhdi Jasser, M.D.
and Islamic thinker and reformer Tawfik Hamid,
are Muslim experts on Islam who respect and also share many of Spencer's views on Islam and the Koran.

Surely it wouldn't hurt you to see what the experts have to say?

Take for example the thread:

"Intelligent design: scientifically and religiously bankrupt"

Now I would have thought it was IMPOSSIBLE to bring Israel into that.

Yet I've counted two posts mentioning Israel.
