It's not clear to me O Holy One what difference you think it makes what the
Quran says.  It doesn't seem to me that this "great religion" is doing
anything to stop the "phony jihadist" as you call them.  Until the "peaceful
Muslims" get on board to stop this mind boggling global madness they are a

Islamic law the penalty is death and recently there was this teddy bear
......oh what's the use.  Forget it.
