But I didn&#x27;t attempt to read the Quran, so that cannot be the basis for your disagreement. I claimed that, since most Muslims aren&#x27;t raving fanatics attempting to slay the infidel, there must be something more to Islam. I&#x27;ve also shown that people who <i>have</i> read the Quran (like a professor of religious studies who specializes in Islam) think it&#x27;s open to interpetation.<p>I also think that understanding a religious book isn&#x27;t as simple as sitting down one day and reading end to end. It&#x27;s not just the Quran anyway; there is a huge body of followups that must be read in order to understand it. Some of them contradictory, some open to interpretation, some of varying degrees of reliability.<p>Have you read them all?
