        @RichardDawkins in what way does it make sense to speak ill of a religion when you haven't even read it's Holy Book?

        @SillySharmoo Have you read Mein Kampf? Probably probably no. Would you speak ill of nazism? Probably yes. Makes sense?

        This is perfect. @RichardDawkins says he's never read Quran but he's certain Islam is the "greatest force for evil today." Some scientist!

        Mein Kampf was irrelevant in its time. Hitler was a great orator and used this gift to spread evil (or as he called it: good) on Germany and the world. Mein Kampf was indicative of Hitler's world views but in no way predictive of the suffering he would bring to the world.

        I've read the Koran and Bible. Both works of fiction. Folk need comfort. Cool but don't impinge my freedom to criticise said doctrines

        Critique of a book is not denouncing the folks that read it.

        @FatherBob @RichardDawkins See verse- http://quran.com/9/5  Peaceful Muslims should accept the same about 'Islamism' and help eradicate it.

        Because Islam =/= the Quran? Judging by what imams say, how Iran & Saudi etc behave is evidence-based approach?

        "Islam" = totality of Muslims' religious beliefs, not a book. Even if, following the book to the letter = horrendous results. Bible the same
