Muslims Recoil at a French Proposal to Change the Quran

Gee, the Bible and various other Christian writings have been used to justify racism, anti-Semitism and many other things. As well as to justify countless wars and terrorist acts.

Yet we don't hear calls to revise these things but rather to go after the folks who misuse them.

Can't have it both ways folks

Well ...

Christians think Muslims are lesser. I say, if Christians revise the Quran to make it more pleasing to them, Muslims should do the same with the Bible. It'll be fun to watch people go apeshit trying to explain why one is okay but the other isn't.

A bit of trivia about the editing of holy works.

King James hated witches. He made certain the translation of the Bible which bears his name altered a line about not giving herbalists (often a source of poisons and often thought of as witches) a means to make a living into a command not to let witches live.
