Rehmat,
If I am mistaken please tell me so, but it seems as though you've taken offense at my questions, if your words are an accurate indication. If this is so, I am compelled to clarify.
The author I am referring to is not a Jew, he is Don McIlvaney. I think he's a Christian man but I don't know that for a fact.
I did not ask these questions to cast aspersions upon Islam, or call into question anything Muslims believe. To the contrary, I thought if I knew the exact text and verse from the Holy Qur'an, I could refute the claims of religious bigotry made against Muslims by biased media commentators and critics here. That is why I asked for specifics, something I could cite as proof.
I am here only to learn, never to offend, and have zero desire to be devisive, insulting, or derogatory towards anyone here at any time. If I erred in my references or my spelling of sacred subjects then I am sorry; it was an innocent mistake made by an ignorant person. If I upset you somehow then I apologize for that as well -- it was never my intention and was wholly accidental.
Again, I am trying to learn about Islam and to do that I have to ask questions and seek specific, detailed answers. I am in earnest and sincerely want to know, and that's all.
Please accept my sincere apology if I gave offense to you or any muslim, or did wrong in any way. I never meant to.
Sincerely,
Student
