(edit)These views that I'm discussing here are not mine. They're a rough approximation to some issues that I think other people have with Islam, which I want to address. I might not be doing them justice. I'm hoping that people who are concerned about those issues will explain them better. Otherwise I'll have to go searching myself, for the best explanations I can find of the issues that people have with Islam.(end edit)
I've been studying the thread The Qur'an: Intentions vs. Effects. to get some ideas about issues with Islam that need to be addressed. I'm only on page 4 of 17, but I see one issue that I can start to discuss now. It's an idea that goes something like this: Violence, torture and other atrocities in the name of Islam will never stop as long as there are multitudes of people who believe that the Quran is from beginning to end the words of their God, Himself. If anyone has a better way of explaining that, I would be glad for you to post it.
