We have in store for the unbelievers heavy fetters and a blazing fire, choking food and harrowing torment: on the day when the earth shall quiver with all its mountains, and the mountains crumble into heaps of shifting sand. --Koran 73:12

The Florida Koran burning has been called off. The Obama administration elevated an obscure Florida pastor’s antics to the status of international incident. Reverend Jones should have been ignored, as are Muslims who burn American flags and Bibles. Instead, the media and the administration focused like a laser on a minister with a flock of fifty. Rather than have a Koran Burning Day, how about a Koran Reading Day? This could prove far more instructive among those who continue to insist, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that Islam is a Religion of Peace. Groups could gather everywhere to read verses from the Koran, thereby settling once and for all time whether Islam really does mean “peace.” Discuss among yourselves:

I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers. -- Quran 8:12, The Spoils, Garments of fire have been prepared for the unbelievers. Scalding water shall be poured upon their heads, melting their skins and that which is in their bellies. They shall be lashed with rods of iron. Whenever, in their anguish, they try to escape from Hell, back they shall be dragged, and will be told: ‘Taste the torment of the Conflagration!’ -- Quran 22:19-20, The Pilgrimage, When you meet the unbelievers in jihad [holy war], chop off their heads. And when you have brought them low, bind your prisoners rigorously. Then set them free or take ransom from them until the war is ended. -- (Koran, 47:4)

Of course, the islamoapoligists on the Left will insist that calls to slay and torture the infidels represent a misinterpretation of the Holy Koran. Yes, we can readily see that this passage is open to any number of interpretations:

Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): ‘I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.’ This because they contended against Allah and His Messenger: If any contend against Allah and His Messenger, Allah is strict in punishment. (8:12-13)

Only a hate filled Islamophobe could read this passage to suggest the beheading of infidels. Is there some debate about what the meaning of “slay” is?

Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. - 2:191

There are at least 106 verses in the Koran that call Muslims to wage war against infidels. TheReligionofPeace.com:

Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.

There is little in the Koran that calls for peace or tolerance. Let’s forget burning the Koran; there is far more to be learned by reading it.
