Yet another misunderstander of islam.
Why hasn't the qur'an been banned if it can be twisted so much? ACCORDING TO ALL GOOD [all devout] MOSLEMS;
The meaning which the Koran conveyes in its words,
HAS NOT BEEN 'TWISTED'.
The words of Allah [i.e. every good moslem considers that
every word of the Koran, to be Allah's words], guide moslems in how to follow their religion.
And all good [devout] moslems consider the Koran to be
absolutely inerrant [i.e. without error].

These [below] are examples of the calming platitudes [the outright lies!] which have come from the lips of our 'Western' leaders in recent years,
President's Greeting for Ramadan - November 5, 2002
"I send greetings to Muslims in the United States......Islam is a peace-loving faith....." - President G W Bush
October 11, 2002
"Islam is a faith that brings comfort to people. It inspires them to lead lives based on honesty, and justice, and compassion." - President G W Bush
September 10, 2002
"Islam is a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. It's a faith that has made brothers and sisters of every race. It's a faith based upon love, not hate." - President G W Bush
November 15, 2001
"The Islam that we know is a faith devoted to the worship of one God, as revealed through The Holy Qur'an. It teaches the value and the importance of charity, mercy, and peace." - President G W Bush
September 28, 2001
"[I know] that the Muslim faith is based upon peace and love and compassion." - President G W Bush
Tony Blair claims to have read the Koran twice, and to have derived 'comfort' from it.
Google,
"read through the Koran twice" "Tony Blair"
Tony Blair -
"Islam is a peaceful faith.",
....and TB claims that ISLAMIC inspired violence, "has nothing to do with Islam,".

Would you buy a used car from G W Bush, OR, from Tony Blair ???
Today the names [of many of our leaders] have changed, but today,
the lies remain the same.
Many of us in the 'West',
and especially our political leaders, have lost the ability to discern between good and evil, between truth and falsehood.
No-one, no 'leading' politician, speaks the truth.
Our politicians, our leaders, are all self serving liars, deceivers.
And it will be a fatal [spiritual] failing, for their people, the citizens of the world.
God's message to mankind, has ALWAYS been, that [to please our God]
we should discern between good, and evil, and that we should make the effort to separate 'the precious from the vile'.
And the suggestion, in my reading of God's word is, that
that, is exactly, what God is doing with us, mankind, today.
Our God, in his own way, in these days, is separating 'the precious from the vile', in the pool of mankind.
The God of Israel has drawn a line in the sand, in this world.
The God of Israel is separating those who love truth, from those who love lies and unrighteousness.
Matthew 13:13
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Isaiah 48:10
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
Daniel 12:10
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Revelation 21:7
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
