How does this make you feel?
The verses in the Holy Quran forbid Muslims to insult anything that is viewed as a deity by any religion, regardless of whether it is a person, a stone, a stick or a tree.
Islam wants its adherents to be just to every human being.
"Do not let your hatred of a people incite you to aggression." (The Quran 5:2).
"And do not let ill-will towards any folk incite you so that you swerve from dealing justly. Be just; that is nearest to heedfulness" (The Quran 5:8).
"To remove something harmful from the road, is charity."
"Charity erases sins just as water extinguishes fire."
"He is not a perfect believer, who goes to bed full and knows that his neighbor is hungry."
"Show mercy to people on earth so that Allâh will have mercy on you in heaven."

Do not curse the idols they set up beside GOD, lest they blaspheme and curse GOD, out of ignorance. We have adorned the works of every group in their eyes. Ultimately, they return to their Lord, then He informs them of everything they had done. (Koran 6:108)
Yup, that's true. And also
Do not argue with the people of the scripture (Jews and Christians) except in the nicest possible manner (Koran 29:46)
Unfortunately, some muslims forget these verses often times.

Like every religion, Islam has many different groups within the main religion, each with their own interpretation of what their holy book actually says. There s good and bad in all religions, and at the moment, it isn't the islamic fundamentalists who worry me. It's the christian ones.
Atheism. You know it makes sense.

It makes me feel like I better get on the stick and do more for my neighbors. We really should love even those who hate us...the world would be much better.

I agree with it of course.
chance....that ayat is referring to when the muslims were being persecuted by the pagan arabs at the time. the pagans were making life hell for the small band of muslims and so God is telling the muslims that even if you dislike them and what they are doing to you and feel that it is unfair....dont allow their evil behavoir to cause you to commit evil in return. your actions should be in accordance with Islam at all times.

Just curious, about 5:2 - that seems to imply that it's OK to hate other people, just so long as you aren't aggressive about it. Is that a valid interpretation, or is that a mis-translation from the original Arabic?

Chance: No, It's not encouraging hatered. Hate is a human nature.. we Hate, yes, but at LEAST; if you hate; please be peaceful.. that's the meaning of 5:2.
