I think that more people should speak up about the Koran, provided they've taken the time to read the text themselves.

Until then, I do wish people would censor themselves... but I know that's just wishful thinking - the ignorant are usually only too happy to offer their opinions on a variety of subjects.

My personal take is that it's not a whole lot different than many religious texts... it can be understood as both a book of profound peace and as a book of violence... and I know that a good number of Muslims practice peacefully and in a tolerant manner.

it's the radicals that give the book a bad name.

Imho, anyone - of any faith or belief-system - that preaches intolerance should be put down.
