| I can't believe I haven't mentioned Onan yet. What's not to like about a story involving obligated sex with one's brother's widow AND being put to death for spilling semen on the ground?! It's not about masturbation like many people think but using the pullout method form of birth control. Clearly,... |

| Promotion of violence towards nonbelievers in the Qur’an that’s very similar to the Old Testament: "Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been giv... |
