The true message of Islam

THE article headlined ‘Sinister blasphemy law would play into the hands of religious nut cases’ (Irish Examiner, May 6) brought to mind the Goebbels’ dictum – “tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”

The lie in this instance was the brazenly outrageous comment that the Quran calls for Jews and Christians to be despised and killed.

Nowhere in the Quran or the hadith literature will one find calls to despise Jews and Christians, much less support for indiscriminate slaughter, the killing of non-combatants or the murder of innocent persons.
