Was that a resounding sound of silence when asked for a religious scholar that uses this verse to justify killing of rebellious children????
Great, while you want others to search for Muslims who cite the verses from ch 18 of the Koran to justify honor killings, I'll ask you to find Christians or Jews who interpret the passages of an 'eye for an eye' to mean that if someone takes your eye, you have a legal right to take theirs.
We'll see if kanelli is still around or if she'll vanish from this thread.

Woah, what's up with this?
Why the double standard here, O Wise One?
Christians who don't poke out someone's eye if their eye was poked out are going against the Bible, so says our resident scholar, kanelli - but it's 'Islamophobic' to say that in the Koran honor killings are legitimized because I can't find current Muslims who cite a particular passage from the Koran? Hmmm.
Maybe Muslims who don't honor kill their children are going against what Allah allows in the Koran? What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Dontchya know, O Wise One?
Any one catching this?
If you come back with zilch examples of Jews and Christians who interpret the eye for an eye passages in the way Muslims do, can I go into an indignant rant like our fellow forum scholars have in this thread?
Will you admit to being a Jew hater?
