There is no "version". You mix it up with the Christian Bible's numerous versions. As well since you don't speak ancient Arabic no doubt you will be reading the English translation. Here's a hint, its not in chronological order. Verses written much later on which over-ride earlier written verses may appear in the Koran long before the older verses they over-ride. So at the best of times reading the Koran is chaotic and confusing. Then again it should also be kept in mind Muhammed would smoke hash hish,then retire to bed and talk in his sleep in a stoned stupor, and his wife would then write down what he said on leaves. These leaves were then allegedly rewritten onto parchment and this serves as the origins of his words the Koran reports. As well Arabic has many words that can mean more than one thing and so context not the words themselves need to be understood and in a man who is stoned, trying to guess the context of his rantings can get quite challenging. Like wow man.. This is why most Muslim scholars can not agree on what the Koran says. I doubt you'll get past a few paragraphs without converting to Islam from the sounds of your approach to life. Do yourself a favour-read a comic book. I might suggest The Spectre or the Phantom Stranger.2 points

You'd be better off. I have never met a Muslim who read the Koran and did not get confused as to the infinite number of meanings each passage could have. Its not for the faint of heart. It requires an ability to see many things at once. Everyday Muslims read it in singular context. Its unusual they will try take it on with multiple meanings. Not because they don't want to, but because there are no reference tools to assist in doing that. The Old Testament has guides and references. You can use the Talmud and Rabbiah commentaries and its still confusing. In fact in most Torahs you depend on the Rabbiah commentaries to try even attempt to understand some of the many possible meanings. There is no limit in how many meanings each sentence could have and the Talmud provies a basis to keep questioning on an infinite basis the search for these meanings. The New Testament can also be complex and often the version of it changes how its understood. If you read the King James version with the Modern American version its very different. With the Koran, we depend on Muslim scholars to try assist with the reading of it. They need to know ancient Arabic. They also have no one school of thought or way to translate. There are no centralized specific trained schools of thought you to a Muslim university to study. Each Imam and Mullah could in theory invent their own interpretation code. Obviously the version practiced in Saudi Arabia is not necessarily the one in Libya or Morrocco. There are regional dialects of Arabic language that can change the meaning of the Koran not to mention different cultural values that have nothing to do with the Koran that are constantly being superimposed on it. So I am not being flippant with you. Although you know I love to. Seriously, from an academic perspective its a challenge to read. Also rying to figure out which verses over-ride which verses by itself is complicated enough. Here's the point without being flippant, its not so much the Koran that is the problem-its the humans who interpret it. The Bible, the Koran, they are books. Its how they are interpreted by specific humans that leads to the problems if any. The very head covering isn't even in the Koran. There are some beautiful peaceful references in the Koran that are ignored by some and not by others. Its quite possible to take the Koran and use it to reference a peaceful approach to life. The fact that extremist fundamentalists have hijacked it is a shame. I say it again. Arabic is a language that lends itself to poetry. It has a fluid movement to it like water in a river. It has a musical quality that lends itself to ballads. Its ironic its been hijacked into a warrior religion. How such a flexible and fluid language has been used to create codes of intolerance is beyond me but with due respect fundamentalists in all religions can do this with their religions. What we really debate here are the men who have taken the Koran and turned it into a rigid code to justify terrorism the same way we would challenge how the Aryan Brotherhood or KKK use the Bible. Its not as some pose the question acceptable for Muslims to be intolerant since others are. All forms of intolerance are to be challenged. Saying there are ignorant Christians does not justify ignorant Jews or Muslims. etc. I have gotten into major debates at how the Old Testament is used by a cell of Zionists called religious Zionists and tthey number about 25 to 50,000 of whom many live on the West Bank and use the Old Testament in a very rigid inflexible way. I can't stand their rigidity. However I find it more of a daunting obstacle with fundamentalist Muslims who can not play the Islamophobia card to justify their views. Fundamentalism or more accurately described, the literal approach to reading where you take only one meaning out and rule out all others is for me a problem. It lends to extremism and rigid inflexible thought processes that cause intolerance and terrorist beliefs. I think its important to say there is no reason Islam could not be used as a peaceful basis of life. Maybe one day it can be by its majority of followers. Until then peaceful progressive Muslims should be supported.1 point

Since when did it become illegal to talk to the Russians? Bill Clinton and Obama did. Geez, you really are going to have to layoff of all this hysterics that is constantly being drummed up by the DNC losers, and that fake liberal media. Trump is clean. Live with it.1 point

Speed limit in controlled airspace below 10,000 ft is 250 kts. Look it up for yourself. Why would anyone design a building that would withstand a 707 hitting it at 600 mph? I'm not even sure a 707 could do 600 mph at sea level so you will have to provide a source for your contention my son, because the only thing that is obvious is your ignorance of aircraft and how they are operated.1 point

Not sure I'm comfortable with CNN's new tagline - "More than ever, our mission is clear". Really? So they're not even pretending anymore? Is this really how they're selling themselves now? Yikes!1 point

In Canada one has to specifically subscribe to Fox News. Is that how you know so much about them or are you just repeating the nonsense from the left? Because, as is usual with such characterizations, you've offered no evidence or proof, just slanted views. Did you know that this week CNN reported that Comey was going to state that he never assured Trump that he was not under investigation. That was flat out wrong, or fake news. In Comey's opening statement in the proceedings, he stated that on 3 separate occasions he told Trump he was not under investigation. So what, right, it's only Trump. Facts only matter under certain conditions I guess. You mention the crazies that follow Fox, but what about the left's moon bats that hate Fox and watch your MSNBC or other leftwing media. I give you all of the rioting looters that trashed and destroyed, set fires and flipped vehicles, etc. after the Trump election. I'm sure they all watch Fox, (not!) as does Black lIves matter, Code Pink, and most of the Jew haters and black supremacists out there. How about the idiot fools at any major university that riot and trash things whenever someone is scheduled to speak whom they don't like, I'm sure they all watch Fox too. There is no point in discussing certain topics with you, you appear to be unable to set aside your ideology and think objectively about some issues.1 point

That's not the only problem you have to solve to eliminate evidence of an old Earth. There is also the decay of nuclear elements like carbon-14, which necessarily takes a long, long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarbon_dating1 point

The Paris Accord has absolutely nothing to do with the carbon tax, nowhere in the agreement does it say Canada needs to implement carbon taxes. Supporting the Paris Accord doesn't mean you support carbon taxes. All it means is that you support reducing carbon emissions and helping solve AGW, it doesn't say how you should do this, that's 100% up to the individual countries and there's no quotas or specifics mandated whatsoever. This video is a lie.1 point

They easily dismiss radicalism as a "nutjob," like as if it doesn't pose any danger just because it is. Whether she's a nutjob or not - it's sickening to have all these nutjobs in our country! We've already have our own nutjobs to worry about - we shouldn't import any more!1 point
