BTW, one last point... I think, in the Koran, "infidel" specifically refers to Pagans. And the Old Testament of the Bible also instructs believers to kill infidels. One passage in particular on that subject, I believe, goes something like, "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live". I seem to recall that there are many such passages in the Old Testament instructing that Pagans should be killed or otherwise treated badly.

Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are largely the same belief system, really, separated only by a few cultural differences. And Islam considers Jews and Christians to be brethren of Muslims (people of the book).

The kinds of things people are putting in this thread about Islam and the Koran is leading me to believe that the greatest threat to humanity today (besides fundamentalist capitalism), is ignorance.
