That is one verse that has context behind it. I am happy to talk about it, but we cannot just drop in one verse that has a story behind it.

Yes, I agree. There are bad apples everywhere. Hitler had an entire country following him based on his interpretation of things. You can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Your comment is a projection of the internal anger you feel. I can appreciate that and I am sorry that is what you might been feeling. However, if you truly understood the message behind my post, it was to hopefully transcend the labels we tend to attach to each other. I am not one to determine what makes a believer or a Muslim for that matter. That is up to God to decide and beyond things us mortals can comprehend, nor do I need to justify my beliefs to anyone. The only thing I can focus on is understanding myself.
