#1 Another attempt at Sharia by Muslims. Does the particlur sect matter? I read that the Quran has a bunch of contradiction in it that could allow for a more peaceful approach. The problem is, most of it is oriented to conquering and suppressing others. Then there is the little problem that there is always an excuse in the book to use violence against others.
