Are we ignoring the Quran like we ignored Hitler's book-Mein Kampf?

Question

Before WW2 hitler wrote a book entitled Mein Kampf (My struggle) where he called Jews the scum of the earth and revealed his intentions.

Answer 1

Most people have never read the Koran. If they had, they would find it extremely disturbing. Among other things the Koran blatantly claims that dying trying to spread Islam is the most important thing a Muslim can do. It also states that murdering innocents is acceptable if it furthers the goals of Islam. Literal interpretation of the Koran is extremely dangerous and there is a much higher percentage of Muslims that adhere to this interpretation than most in the United States wish to believe. The entire Islamic religion is founded on teachings that promote war as a means of spreading Islam.

Answer 2

Apart from the 'research' then, the book is not worth buying because the fact is, the book was heavily edited and literally re-written before it was published the first time because they could not present its original version as it was full of crap! And to a point it still is full of rubbish regardless of the changes made in it. Germans were forced to buy it after Hitler gained power in Germany because 'not to owe a copy' was considered treason. So what people did, was buy a copy and let it gather dust on their shelves only to retrieve same should some official ask for it. Most Germans did not bother to read it past page ten! The only person to hold the book in very high regard was Reinhard Himmler, it defies logic to realize that Himmler himself was a intelligent man. Also, historians had painted the book to be a 'warning for the future' implying that the 'World' or if you like other countries should have seen it as a outright threat and taken some sort of action. This is a false assumption and should be ignored. I realize that the book would have been a banned item in Germany but as far as I know, it is legal in Australia for it to be sold in the bookstores. I do agree, it should be allowed to be sold for historical purpose.

Answer 3

no, Mein Kampf was mean and violence-insighting. the Quran preaches peace. even the parts that preach death to non-believers (like the Bible and Torah does) are nomally not enforced by muslim leaders in non-theocratic countries.

now if the terrorists would stop ignoring the Quran, we'd have no problems

Answer 4

Mein Kampf is the biggest load of drivel ever written, it's just the egotistical rantings of a narcisistic nutcase. The Qur'an has a lot more to say about the human condition and about how you should live your life (i.e. saying it in a similar way to the Bible, essentially be nice to people) than the very very small amount of questionable stuff that's in it. You could equally say the same thing about the Bible, there's lots of stuff that could be categorised as hate literature in there.

Answer 5

The Quran itself can be interpreted in many ways. But with the history of the region and their interpretation yes we are.

Answer 6

Have you even read either of those? The Quran is mostly about peace and tolerance. Here is more info, get educated will ya?!

Interesting similarities of Quran and Bible:

The Qur'ān retells stories of many of the people and events recounted in Jewish and Christian sacred books (Tanakh, Bible) and devotional literature (Apocrypha, Midrash), although it differs in many details. Adam, Enoch, Noah, Heber, Shelah, Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Jethro, David, Solomon, Elijah, Elisha, Jonah, Aaron, Moses, Zechariah, Jesus, and John the Baptist are mentioned in the Qur'an as prophets of God (see Prophets of Islam). Muslims believe the common elements or resemblances between the Bible and other Jewish and Christian writings and Islamic dispensations is due to the common divine source, and that the Christian or Jewish texts were authentic divine revelations given to prophets. According to the Qur'ān

"It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (of judgment between right and wrong).3:3 "

Muslims claim that those texts were neglected or corrupted (tahrif) by the Jews and Christians and have been replaced by God's final and perfect revelation, which is the Qur'ān.[40] However, many Jews and Christians believe that the historical biblical archaeological record refutes this assertion, because the Dead Sea Scrolls (the Tanakh and other Jewish writings which predate the origin of the Qur'an) have been fully translated,[41] validating the authenticity of the Greek Septuagint.[42]

Answer 7

Good comparison. People ignored Hitler before world war II, and fortunantly they were smart enough to realize that we needed to get into it. Now, the same people wanting to ignore terrorism are sticking their heads into the sand.

Answer 8

You don't need to read the whole book to get the quick notes version or general idea...

Answer 9

The Quran is a fictional work, who cares

Answer 10

that is a ridiculous question on so many levels, if you had bothered reading either of the two, you would know that they are totally different in theme and in philosophy, among other things...do your research before you ask questions like that.
