the koran is straight from the mouth of allah,, all moslems consider every word he ever uttered to be the literal word of god. thats why the Hadiths are so important. they are the OTHER words of mohjammed, besides the ones in the koran, and all moslems rever the hadiths, just different vertsions which have been edited for their sectarian agendas. the koran itself declares the "Kaffirness' of all who "disbelieve our communications and plain warnings" (which means those who dont obey their threats and extortions)
the koran is what im talking about, not the Hadiths. thats a whole nother rich vein of crazy. when i argued with smok3y1 about his demands that i "show him in the koran" where mohammed says kill the unbelievers, i showed him line by line in context, and he had a weasely explaination for every example, from "thats not what it means... it means the opposite what the words say, cuz thats arab poetry..." to "that was translated by zionist piggie jews to defame islam" to "Nuhh Uhh!! Youre a racist!!"
he still denies to this day that i showed him what he demanded, and pretends the koran is like the bagvad gita or the zarathustra, or the buddhist sutras, all peace love and self-actualizations. shit, even the old testament and new testament, torah and talmud are full of exhortations to kill unbelievers and slay those who oppose their gods. why do you assume islam is different from the other 2 religions based in the same bullshit?
the sectarian divisions in islam are even more arbitrary than the ones in christianity, sunnis and shias differ mainly in who was to succeed mohammed after he slumped into his well deserved grave, his right hand man, or his favorite uncle.
