    I'm not saying it is the purists form of Islam but it is the purest representation if the koran as can be carried out by people.

      And your evidence is where? Please, a link, anything!

      Oh, and you said
      "They actually represent the pure form of Islam."

      So is that what you mean, or not?

        Are we of the Church of Rome or are we a believer in Martin Luther's Thesis?

          Well, firstly the concept of "Christian" is only from the New Testament. The Bible also contains the Old Testament. And just like taking part of a sentence out of the Koran without the context, the same can be done with the Bible (and frequently is)

          Here's an example of a couple of verses:
          8 Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.
          9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.'
          (Psalm 2:8-9)


          And here's a slightly less serious example of picking things out of context:
          1. Judas hanged himself (Matthew 27:5).
          2. “Go and do likewise” (Luke 10:37).
          3. “That thou doest, do quickly” (John 13:27).
          So, the Bible clearly teaches that Christians should kill themselves.

              The second lot, yes. The Psalm was from the Jewish Publications of America.

              Psalm from the Jerusalem Bible:
              "Ask of me, and I shall give you the nations as your birthright, the whole wide world as your possession. 9 With an iron sceptre you will break them, shatter them like so many pots.'"


              Still says pretty much the same thing.

                The Old Testament and Koran seem to be as brutal as each other in the "convert or die" sort of line from what I've read of them. The difference is that Christianity went through a reformation and Islam as a religion is a lot younger; how long we have to wait for such a reformation within Islam remains to be seen.
                The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

                  The reformation actually went back to the crazy stuff in the bible.

                    What is the Muslim doctrine on creationism? I would think it is largely the same as the Protestantism, the lineage from Abraham?

                    I don't know.

                      I don't know.

                      You also don't know where you got your ideas from about ISIS being the purest form of Islam.

                      Instead of trying to avoid the answer by changing the subject, how about going back to your earlier claims. We'd really like to know!
