Presumably by interpreting the Koran differently than the Ayatollah or Ca would.

I know the bible says outrageous things in the old testament in particular. The new testament corrected at least some of the violence taught and advocated in the old testament.

Yeah, there was no christian violence after the new testament was written. That whole Crusades thing aside. And the Thirty Years War. And the Spanish Inquisition (I bet no one was expecting that).

Practicing muslms by and large don't do that with the koran. Their religion doesn't allow for it. This is why this religion has inflicted so much harm on the world, especially to women.

How many practicing muslims have you known? Seriously. I've known plenty, and even named my son after one. Those I've befriended had a much better perspective on the world than, say, Jerry Falwell.
