@PandiiMan Wrong. Truth is what is important, not whether subjective "good" can come from the truth.
The Koran is not the Bible. It is not even the equivalent of the Bible. Once people begin to understand this, then maybe people will stop defending Islam at all costs. There is a difference between Biblical violence - David killed Goliath, Samson killed the Philistines, etc - and Koranic violence - Slay the infidels where you find them, smite their necks and the tips of their fingers, etc. The former is a third person recounting of what specific people did at specific times to other specific people - they are stories. The latter is in the second person imperative - it is exhorting people who believe in such filth to go commit violence in its name. It would be like instead of saying "David killed Goliath", the Bible said "all Jews and Christians must go out and murder every Philistine you see". If that was the case, such a criticism would be legitimate. It is not, however.
Ideologies formed by evil or foolish men can be inherently evil. Look at the history of the 20th century, and socialism in its various forms from the Bolsheviks to the Nazis to Pol Pot. Evil ideologies help give evil men power. The ideologies act as an excuse for the acts of evil men. Islam is certainly an evil ideology, and as such it brings out the worst in everyone, and rewards the basest instincts of the truly evil.
