You'll forgive me if I don't scroll back through the thread (which is quite long at this point) to compare and contrast your various postings; I'm really only concerned with your responses to me, which were kind of insulting. You don't know me, don't know my background, but you feel free to make comments like those without offering anything substantive in rebuttal to the points I raised. I am willing, even eager, to find more redeeming qualities in the Islamic faith, but you give me nothing substantive to go on. Again, I've seen no indication that you know more about this subject than I do, but I've seen ample indications that you're willing to ignore the offensive stuff in the Koran so you can quibble with me about how many pages it appears on, and make disparaging comments about me in the process.

However, this haggling is getting tiresome. I would have more respect for you if you would withdraw the insulting comments instead of reiterating them, and focus on the actual issue; then we could have a meaningful exchange of views. You don't seem to want to do that, though, so I don't really see much point in continuing.
