I’ve been reading the Koran out of curiosity. I’m only 25% through now, but I haven’t found a lot of commandments to murder non-Muslims. In fact it seems to recognize Judaism and Christianity as close cousins. It seems willing to tolerate any of these monotheists and gives the appearance that they’ve all been describing the same one deity.
As the founding text of Islam it entered a world that had no Muslims, so it seems strange for it to command the murder of non Muslims. But hey maybe I’ll come to that part soon.
What it does say is that non believers will die in anguish in the fires of hell. It says this over and over, with angry threats. It’s a mean book.
Some of the hadith get pretty spicy - but they're not gospel, so to speak. Or at least, different groups have different views on which of the hadith should count, and many of these groups dont like each other, to put it mildly.
The first half is like that. It's the second half that gets less tolerant.
