September Morn, in fairness I must remind you that Sky is the one who made the erroneous and inflammatory statement that the Koran had sentenced her to death ("even though their text condemns us to death").

Now.....

Perna, you are not dealing with Sky's statement, which was that she had been sentenced to death by the Koran.

That is simply not true and she should retract it.

Your quotes, even though they do not deal with the question of a death sentence, are interesting in that you take them out of context to try to support Sky's statement.

What I mean is this: You grabbed one little quote as though it means that Muslims should fight against all Christians and Jews.

But......if you read back a bit (start at 9:1) you will find that the reference is to a specific group of people--"the idolators with whom you made covenant."

Not all Christians and Jews, as you say, but a specific group of people who had broken a peace treaty and attacked the people of Islam.

And even this group was given a period of four months to repent of their treachery (God is merciful).

See how this works? You have twisted scripture to wrongly attack another religion.

This is particularly objectionable considering the state of relations that we currently face between Muslims and Christians in America.

You also have some retracting to do.
