Like the Christian Bible, the Koran, too, is filled with an explosion of mind boggling things it wants you to accept as truth or commands coming from a God. Spawned by the Jewish myths and winding geneologies of Adam, Abraham, etc.., it goes about stating falsehoods, lies, deceptions, debasement, and violence -- whose followers, wishing if it were possible, would caste the whole world under cloth head to toe (well, at least all the women) and force us to pray numerous times throughout the day, not to mention stringing our neighborhoods up with wired microphones telling us when to do so -- causing any who may want to have a morning`s sleep without being ?gcalled to prayer?h to wake up, get on the floor and submit to oppression.
If you imagine god to be a god of love -- give the Koran a read and you will soon see there is very little love between its pages -- and definitely not unqualified love without condition. There is always ?ea catch?f. If you already are under it`s heavy weight and shadow, try to get free of it. Some have and it is not impossible. Salmund Rushdie (under threat of death) could avoid it and he has inspired others as well to give it up like a bad habbit.
This thread will focus on those parts of the Koran that fuel skepticism of it. If you want to rebutt some of the points feel free to do so. At the same time, if you have more criticisms that you would like to put up for thought or invite comment on, do likewise.

*Mycernius had been waiting for me criticise the Koran since months ago, at times asking me "why I wasn`t focusing on the Koran, too." Just didn`t have the time. Now I do and I hope he will be pleased with the balance in my criticisms which he seemed to feel I was lacking in, or the prejudice he felt I was displaying in only focusing on The Bible. This is meant to rectify that somewhat.
