Midknight Review -- new and revised: A few passages from our reading of the Koran.

Here is the headline: Capitol Quran reading Saturday to ‘counter the forces of ignorance’

We wonder if the reading will include these thoughtful passages ? Note that the Koran was written during the 7th century, A.D. The wars between the Arab hordes and the Christian hordes had been waged for hundreds of years. Muhammad [the Prophet] put the face of religion on the Arab population in the 600's. Unbelievers, in the Koran, are specifically "Jews and Christians" and are mentioned dozens of times. The book is all about a defense of Islam and the judgment of unbelievers and Jews and Christians. Midknight Review estimates those passages in the Koran having to do with how to live a better and fulfilling life, helping the needy, gracious living and the like to constitute no more than 7% of its content.

. . . . tell your wives, your daughters, and woman believers to make their outer garments to hang low . . . . [the unbelievers ] Wherever they are found will be arrested and put to death . . . 33:59 - 61

"You [prophet] are not permitted to take anymore wives . . . nor to exchange them for others . . . this does not apply to your slave girls. . . . 33:52

"The believers should not make unbelievers their allies . . . ." 3:28

" . . . . God does not love evildoers . . . 3:57

" . . . in God's eye, Jesus is just like Adam: he created him from the dust, said unto him 'be' and it was. This is the truth from the Lord, so do not be one of those who doubt . . . . this is the truth of the matter, there is no god but God . . . . We worship God along, we ascribe no partner to Him, and none of us takes others than God as lords." 3: 59 - 64

"Those who wage war against God and his Messenger (Allah and Mohammad) and strive to spread corruption in the land should be punished by death, crucifixion, the amputation of an alternate hand and foot, or banishment from the land a disgrace for them in this world and then a terrible punishment in the Hereafter, unless they repent before you overpower them . . . 5: 33.34

"You who believe, do not take take the Jews and Christians as allies, they are allies only to each other. Anyone who takes them as an ally becomes one of them -- God does not guide such wrong doers -- yet you [Prophet] will see the perverse at heart rushing to them for protection . . " 5:51.52

"The Messiah, son of Mary, was only a messenger; other messengers have come and gone before him; his mother was a virtuous woman; both ate food [like other mortals] . . . 5:75

The gates of heaven will not be open to those who rejected Our revelation and arrogantly spurned . . . 7:40

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
