That's not my argument. The Southern Man's argument is stated in his post 4.

I'm just telling you that context is just as important when you are reading the Quran as it is when you are reading the Bible. You seem to understand the importance of proper context within the Bible but refuse to show the same courtesy to the Quran.

Actually I know there are different types of laws called by different names by various sects.
What's your point? Get to it.
Considering your gender, pray you never get raped in a nation where Sharia is practiced. Don't bother defending yourself. You may get stoned. Unless of course you have 4 male witnesses.

I guess I have to assume you are addressing my comment that being raped in a nation under Sharia will get you stoned if you harm your rapist unless there are no less than 4 male witnesses. Sharia places great importance on not prosecuting innocent people. Better to set a guilty man free than prosecute and punish an innocent man. Or, you were responding to a post by someone that was quickly deleted that made a recommendation of shoving someone into the Jordan River as a solution. I would not make such a statement. Frustration over infidels standing up for the rights of Islamics to practice Sharia might cause some to react less than civilly however.

By the way, making statements that express surprise, followed by name calling, suggest a product of public schooling. If you must comment, address the issue, let other readers make conclusions about posters.
That is of course if you want to. I support your right to attack fellow posters and avoid the issues.

I am surprised that one claiming to know so much about Sharia would use stoning as a commonality under Islamic law, when most Islamic majority countries in the world don't use it at all.

Sharia is anything that deals with religion that is made into law. which could cover any number of things from divorce laws to capital punishment techniques. It is highly dependent on where you are. It doesn't have to be the big bad Boogey Man that you make it out to be at all (though in some areas it is).

Actually I have selected Koranic quotes in their proper context.

But you have ignored others such as the one that states that patience and forgiveness are much better than retribution.

It is misrepresentation that I am concerned about.

I haven't ignored those. I've read them in their context as well.

The fact is, Islam instructs its followers to do death and violence towards non-belivers. Christ never taught anything like that. Now, since Islam recognizes the the great teachings of Christ, then why would it be in conflict with him?

I was not aware that you were a trained scholar in Islam.
