that is what the Meccan versus in the Quran says - Unfortunately there are plenty others, especially Medina ones that mention the contrary.
have you ever thought about why you actually say that?
To you these characters are sacred - to others not - are we supposed to kill them for having a different view?
hmm....according to them they are following the literal meaning of the Quran and Shariah.....they would consider you as a Kafir. You call them terrorists, they would say that they are exercising Allah's will..
The point is that like you I was born a muslim - not by choice but by chance. The Islam that we are taught to follow is not the Islam of the Quran or the teachings of the Bedouins from 1400 years ago - it's more of an amalgamation of basic religion infused with a lot of regional culture.
It's clear for all to see that you are a normal and good guy with decent morals, however a bit infantile to defend an ideology that is so misconstrued unequivocally - i believe it's healthy to have a discussion by keeping emotions at bay - the only way to learn and evolve.
Happy to engage in a separate thread on this subject if required.
As for the Original topic - personally i think it was poor taste but doesn't bother me. its a bit like Cameron calling Nigeria and Afghanistan as two of the corrupt countries around - I was gutted that he didn't mention Pakistan - thought we (pakistanis) have done enough of a F up to be finally recognised......
