Qu'ran 3:106 says:
"On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], "Did you disbelieve after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject."
Anyone care to comment on that?
It seems to me like the right and healthy thing to point out a potentially toxic verse like that from a "sacred text."
If the Pope or Donald Trump taught something like that, everyone would accuse them of an extremely offensive and blatantly obvious "racial slur", and rightfully so, but when it comes from Muhammad (peace be upon him), no one seems to care.
It is exalting the favored righteous as having "white faces" and speaking of wicked, condemned, unbelievers as having "black faces".
How could someone not see the problem with this picture?
It seems to me like the right thing to do to point out something so offensive.
I love Muhammad (peace be upon him) and hope he is in heaven. But it is still the right thing to do, to point out his errors in judgement and teachings (rather than enable them by being silent and passive).
We all have errors in judgement, but when over a billion people adhere to one's teachings, those errors have much worse potential to do damage, and should be pointed out.
I do the same thing with the Bible and "Christians".
There's nothing wrong with letting your conscience be your guide!
