&gt;  I compare the two because if you&#x27;re looking hard enough in both texts you&#x27;ll find justification for evil.<p>Wrong again. You&#x27;re not actually comparing. Go to the sources. It&#x27;s not about &quot;looking hard&quot; it is on almost every page of Quran. Please try the reading sample, Sura 9:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sacred-texts.com&#x2F;isl&#x2F;pick&#x2F;009.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sacred-texts.com&#x2F;isl&#x2F;pick&#x2F;009.htm</a><p>All those are considered to be the direct words of god by Muslims. As long as they declare them so, the problems will remain. But suggesting them not to declare that is probably worse than suggesting to the Catholics to give up having the Pope. They surely need some kind of reformation. Unfortunately, &quot;back to the original texts&quot; can&#x27;t be the basis of reformation as they are really filled with violence and intolerance. The only reformation that isn&#x27;t disastrous for humanity can only be &quot;don&#x27;t take these original texts too seriously.&quot; Other Abrahamic religions managed to move in that direction, for Islam it&#x27;s going to be <i>much</i> harder.<p>What I don&#x27;t understand is that effectively not a single person of those who claim that there is equivalence in the holy texts of different religions try to read them themselves, because once they&#x27;d read they would not be able to even say such sentences like &quot;if looking hard enough.&quot;
