Islam Watch - "The Use of Vulgar Language in the Quran" by Mumin Salih

This is a very interesting article. It really makes one wonder about how much of the Koran is written by Allah, or by Mohammad using Allah as an excuse to insult someone. If it is all by Allah, he sure has a potty mouth!

Islam Watch - "The Use of Vulgar Language in the Quran" by Mumin Salih: "The Quran consistently uses offending remarks whenever it mentions non-Muslims. It describes non-Muslims as animals (Q.7: 179, Q.25: 44, Q.47: 12). Then it describes the Jews as donkeys Q. 62:5 then as apes and pigs (Q.2: 65, Q. 5:60, Q. 7:166). To be described as an animal is a bad insult in Arabic culture, but pigs, apes and donkeys are particularly bad.

The extensive uses of swearing language in the Quran have escaped criticism for many years, although the use of similar language by other books or articles would make them un-publishable."
