I've tried to give it to some one who practices the religion, apparently
no body wants it.
I don't practice the religion...anybody need a copy? :P
I'll ask my next door neighbour... She's a muslim...

Not sure if the koran does or not.
Why do you think us Catholics have big families and lots of scars :P
Its interesting to study religions and see how and why things mean what they do to their followers . How cults made up of the worship of pagan gods and twisted truths became these huge religious bodies that encroach into every corner of peoples lives.
Anyone can start a religion..although they are referred to as '"cults" nowadays. We could start our own religion right here and now if we wanted to and have all sorts of nonsensical tenets. In a few hundred years we could have a whole money making entity with hundreds of thousands of believers.

has anyone eread even a part of the Koran? just curious.
its pretty much the same as the bible as far as teachings. both, imho are nice works of fiction, worthy of a spot on the shelf next to my dickens collection.. when interpreted as a text, the lessons taught do no harm, give people hope, a guideline for a life for those who need it, so i cannot say either one is worth NOT perusing.

I agree, except that the Koran specifically addresses 'a woman's' place, and I believe, that in today's society, to support such things is harmful and goes against the rights that women have fought so hard to attain in the western world.
