Any non muslims out there read the Quran.?

Question

And if not have you the right to critisise Islam.
I have read the Quran, do I have the right.

I thought I'd add a seriouse question.

I think the Quran is beutifull and poetic. It makes a lot of sense and some of the surahs are valubal today 1400 years after it was written. We all have the right to an oppinion, but do we have that right when we are not educated on the subject.

I consider myself a christian (loosely) and I would accept critisim of the bible. My god was vengefull. Christianity survived persicution from the romans, I think it can survive critisism from People who stay up to late on a saturday night

Answer 1

I'm not a Muslim, but I have read the Quran from cover to cover. I don't like to take Sean Hannity's word for what it says.

You have the right to criticize it whether you have or not. You also run the risk of sounding foolish if you criticize something you haven't read, though.

I found it much less violent and vindictive than the Bible. Those verses that people quote are usually taken out of context. Most people have no idea what they are talking about when they refer to the Quran.

Answer 2

I'm a Christian, and have read parts of the Koran/Quran/however you choose to spell it. A good bit of it actually.
I criticize some practitioners of Islam not because of their beliefs so much as how they interpret their beliefs.......thinking they have the right to kill others who don't believe what they do, and declaring their jihads on the whole non-Muslim world.
And to "Kickin up fun," the Koran is a SCARED book, huh? I think you meant SACRED??? And who says it's sacred? Murderers? People who attack innocent people just because they aren't Muslim? I used to think not all muslims were like that, but after hearing so very many talking about how much they hate the US and Christianity.....I think they all must be jihadists.

Answer 3

I have read the Koran, Quran, and I don't know that it gives be a right to criticize Islam. I have also read the Sahari law, which I do feel I can criticize if I want, but. I think that 99.99 of the worshipers of Islam known as Muslims would tell you that you have NO right whatsoever, NO ONE has any rights to criticize either the scared book of Koran, Islam or their leaders actions. To do so is blasphemy.

You should now this if you have read the Quran.

Answer 4

No you don't have the right, it's very offensive for anyone, Muslim or not, to criticise the Koran, as it is the said to be the 'literal word of God'.
I'm an atheist who has read the Koran ..... and there are some good bits in there, as with any other wise religious text.

Answer 5

it quite is super selective reading. If basically you had some greater inventive interpretations for clay and mudghah. it quite is to not say you may not, the dude or dudes who wrote the quran might maximum certainly have had countless issues in ideas to learn the form of guy to. by using the appearance of what you wrote, it would have been rather present day to boot. do not you recognise,in case you god human beings only suggested god exists, yet your holy books have been written by using adult males, you does not be so ridiculed? you've the skill to replace them in to greater correct issues, thereby seeming correct to the cases, extremely of pigeonholing your faiths in to a pre darkish age stasis. does not your God be lots happier in case you unfold his message and not his now beside the point "words"?

Answer 6

Have you read "Islam Revealed" by Dr Annis Shorrosh?

Answer 7

Yes and killing innocent people just because they will not accept the way of the Islamic is shameful to say the least.

Answer 8
