How can there be "moderate" Muslims, if there is no "moderate" version of the Quran?
What teachings do you follow? Is there an Islamic teaching curriculum that directs the people toward peace and acceptance of others? I have not heard of one. Tell me where to find it. All I have heard is the literal explanation of the writings of the Quran.
There are different "versions" of the Bible. Along with the New Testament as opposed to the Old Testament. Catholics don't do much Bible studying they go by their Catechism. So with Christianinty there are different "versions" that are basically similar.
OK Jalal, Where are the written teachings? This is what I'm looking for. I understand the different interpretation thing. Are there teachings that are directed at certain sects? Christians have a few different versions depending on their specific "brand" of Christian. Are there different versions of the Quran? If so what are they called and where can I find the different versions for comparison?
No one is actually answering the question. If there are different interpretations of the Koran, where can you physically look at the different interpretations? As to compare. Or does each Mosque have it's own interpretation? If that's the case then there really isn't any continuity. That is unless you take the readings literally. No?

How can there be Christians that spend all of their time volunteering at the soup kitchen and Christians that suicide bomb abortion clinics? They use the same Bible.

Whilst I will readily admit the Christians were the barbarians during the Chistian/Moslem wars, the so called crusades. You are playing a game of comparisons that don't hold up.
Verse from Surah Taubah
"Kill the mushriqeen (pagans, polytheists, kuffar) where ever you find them."
[Al-Qur’an 9:5]
You state that as long as the losers of the war repented they would be freed. The demand for prayer and repentance on pain of death is NOT an act of peace. It is an act of violent religious conversion.
Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 6
"If one amongst the pagans ask thee for asylum,grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure that is because they are men without knowledge."
[Al-Qur’an 9:6]
If a religion, even at war, makes such a demand then it is not a religion of peace it is a religion indoctrinating people by exploiting fear of death on a battle field.
That is very far from peaceful.

There is No Modrate Muslim or Islam, Islam is At it is. Islam Teaches towards peace and to Accepts others you dont have enough knowledge about Quran,
Its the International media that has defamed Islam because thay are just having one purpose to Defame It.
Quran Is Sent by Allah and Allah Has Sent Bible too, but The people changed it so thay are Getting "Modrate"
So dont say any thing without Knowledge.
Source(s): [4.Sura An-Nisaa : Ayah 82] Do they not then meditate on the Quran? And if it were from any other than Allah, they would have found in it many a discrepancy [17.Sura Bani Israel : Ayah 82.88,89,106] And We reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, and it adds only to the perdition of the unjust. Say: If men and jinn should combine together to bring the like of this Quran, they could not bring the like of it, though some of them were aiders of others. And certainly We have explained for men in this Quran every kind of similitude, but most men do not consent to aught but denying. And it is a Quran which We have revealed in portions so that you may read it to the people by slow degrees, and We have revealed it, revealing in portions [18.Sura Kahf : Ayah 27,54,57] And recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord, there is none who can alter His words; and you shall not find any refuge besides Him. And certainly We have explained in this Quran every kind of example, and man is most of all given to contention. And who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the communications of his Lord, then he turns away from them and forgets what his two hands have sent before? Surely We have placed veils over their hearts lest they should understand it and a heaviness in their ears; and if you call them to the guidance, they will not ever follow the right course in that case. [25.Sura Furqan : Ayah 50] And certainly We have repeated this to them that they may be mindful, but the greater number of men do not consent to aught except denying. [30.Sura Ar-Rum : Ayah 58] "And certainly We have set forth for men every kind of example in this Quran; and if you should bring them a communication, those who disbelieve would certainly say: You are naught but false claimants." [39.Sura Az-Zumar : Ayah 27-28] "And certainly We have set forth to men in this Quran similitudes of every sort that they may mind. An Arabic Quran without any crookedness, that they may guard (against evil)." [44.Sura Ad-Dukhan : Ayah 3-4] "Surely We revealed it on a blessed night surely We are ever warning-- Therein every wise affair is made distinct." [54. Sura Qamar : Ayah 17,22,32,40] "And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?" [56.Sura Waqia : Ayah 77-79] "Most surely it is an honored Quran, In a book that is protected None shall touch it save the purified ones Our Lord, pour down upon us patience, and make our steps firm and assist us against the unbelieving people - 1 decade ago
You Know that ther are some pretty destructive things that are written in the Bible also.Even the Messiah Jesus got angry.GOD IS A LOVING AND MERCIFUL GOD BUT HE IS ALSO A JEALOUS GOD.If it was God who sent the great flood and God who sent the Plagues on Egypt and countless other terrible things why is it unreasonable then for God to show his wrath in the Quran?How many Muslims live in America?If Muslims who follow their religion are hell bent on destruction then why arent we at war with you on American soil?Its because its all lies and propoganda to instill fear in the hearts of Americans so that they will back their Government in an Illegal war.Stop believing the B.S.There are far more good Muslims in the world than their are bad ones.If we were all bad there would have been war after war by now.Dont you think.

Your peddling a fantasy. The Sana'a manuscripts have not been examined so something you say or all and sundry else says concerning their content textile is a n opinion and not something greater. The textual content textile could be a manuscript or historic record (of which many have been stumbled on) and it is not examined that it is composed of something of the Quran. it might desire to the two become a hoax.

The reason Muslims are split has to do with who they thought the leader should be after Mohammed. It's all based on different interpretations of the same book.
There are moderate Christians and radical Christians, even though there is only one bible.

capnarlo, there is an explanation for the surahs.. Those were given down during time of war for the retake of Mecca
Lets say that during the Vietnam war, the general said " kill any vietnamese you see " If he says that during that time, it makes sense if he says that now, he will sound like a damn racist
and we follow the hadiths too Hadith ( the words or acts or confessions of the prophet muhammad (pbuh) )
try going to an Islamic nation.. We are not all suicide bombers... America has serial murderers too you have massacre at high schools.. your student go to college/school and kill everyone i think that is called murder!?
Islam sect are split by wat they believe in Shiite are people that think Muhammad's bloodline must lead the muslims, and Sunni thinks thatit doesnt matter who leads it

easy if you want to interpret any religious scripture you either take it as an excuse to use it for good or to use it for evil
just like the christians bush and hitler and the muslims bin laden and nejad . there are also good people who use common sense , most of the muslims you won't hear about on fox news or cnn or the anti muslim sites which lie about islam and muslims.
you probably never saw real muslims so i can understand your frustration with us evil muslims, just like i know people who think all americans are as evil as bush and the kkk. i know many muslims who fear going near amercians or dealing with them or brits because they expect them to be evil and operatives paid to cause trouble or even serial killers , i can tell you more about what i could believe as a muslim about jews, christians, buddhists , atheists, but it would only be a silly thing to believe because i know it isn't people's nature to be killers or to search for ways to harm others. i wasn't treated as a potential terrorist by many jews and christians in western countries because i wore hijab, so i won't go and react the way you did.
japanese and germans were treated the same way years ago so were the russians so now it's western governments job to treat muslims the same way and keep you intoxicated with anti muslim lies and islamophobia to validate killing muslims, fighting islam , and helping so called "freedom fighters" kill of more civilians then blame islam for it, like bin laden the failed cia project .

Religion is subject to interpretation. That's why there are so many different sects of Christianity.

That's sort of like asking "How can there be christians who don't believe that the earth is only six thousand years old? The only christian bible I've ever heard of says that."
