[QUOTE]Originally posted by Veers: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by WizArtist II: [qb] From the Quran: 5:51 O YOU who have attained to faith! Do not take the jews and the Christians for your allies: they are but allies of one another and whoever of you allies himself with them becomes, verily, one of them; behold, God does not guide such evildoers. Pretty much sums up what the hardliners base their practices on. [/qb][/QUOTE]Searching the Internet, I found one translation saying that there is the word "certain" where you put "the" between "take" and "Jews." There is also: 5:57 O you who believe, do not befriend those among the recipients of previous scripture who mock and ridicule your religion, nor shall you befriend the disbelievers. You shall reverence GOD, if you are really believers. It doesn't say anything about not befriending people who don't ridicule your religion. We can learn from this that quoting from religious books does not make us understand this crisis any better. [/QB][/QUOTE]
