"::""he says the language  of the quran is ""abusive, specificly refering to the apes and pigs verses."""" This article is not Islam and abusive language. This article is Islam and antisemitism. Also he says that the reference to apes may come from the Qur'an, not the abusive language. For example, the words ""bitch"" and ""ass"" can be found in the dictionary. Now if someone uses those terms abusively, the dictionary can't be blamed. 
 ::""No. But all interpritations of the quran (ancient and modern) should be."" Everything that is related to Islam is an interpretation of the UQr'an (or the Islamic tradition). Everything.
