I was looking for a Sura I remembered and Google introduced me to The Skeptic’s Annotated Qua’ran.
The site displays each sura of the Qua’ran, along with analytical study notes giving a plain-English analysis of important verses.
Verses are also marked with a useful legend highlighting specific attributes:
Injustice
Intolerance
Cruelty and Violence
Absurdities
Good Stuff
Women
Contradictions
Sex
Interpretations
Science and History
Family Values
Language
Homosexuality
For example, Sura 9:29:
9:29 Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.
This web site also features The Skeptic’s Annotated Bible and The Skeptic’s Annotated Book of Mormon, so be ready for some equal-opportunity analysis.
I strongly encourage every American to read the Qua’ran. Only by reading this book can we truly understand why modern day Muslims are murdering innocents across the globe.
