I don't wish to play the "Find the contradiction" in various religious texts. I find it especially disingenuous when one piece of the contradiction is used to illustrate the lack of credibility of the religious text and the other piece of the contradiction is used to support a conclusion about that religion.

It isn't logical to have it both ways. The text/religion is full of contradictions and therefore can't be trusted OR the text/religion is saying what they really are. How can I be expected to believe just *part* of a text?

Furthermore, context matters a great deal in all these surgical extractions, and context is nearly always missing when they're presented like you've presented them.

Also, no one I know is under threat by the Koran. No one. Under threat by people who believe things in the Koran. Or believe what someone has told them (which may or may not have been in the Koran). Unless you're hit in the head with the book, it is not a threat. People, that's where the focus should be, needs to be.
