Agreed, but you missed my point. Metalted was focusing on specific aspects of the Koran that portrayed it in a bad light; I was merely doing the same with The Bible. My point was that all religions have their good points and bad points and it is unfair to single out one religion and focus solely on its bad points and ignoring the good ones; whilst at the same time focusing solely on your religions good points and ignoring the bad ones.
