In view of the Qur’an, sura 37:100-113, is Islam all about child-sacrifice in the sense of bribing Allah to be in Allah’s favour? REACTION 2

[[Dear readers, I've changed the name of this fellow to Another Muslim? (who hails from a certain university) for the reason that I couldn't understand his webname, which seems to have something to do with Jews, not necessarily for the good. The Post title which brought this comment was "Besides those from Arabian countries, I see from the stats page that I’ve caught the attention of some Dutch Muslims. So, tell me: in view of sura 37:100-113, is Islam all about child-sacrifice?". Anyway, as always, my response is in brackets and in bold]]

Well if Islam is about child-sacrifice then Christianity and Judaism are too.[Good! I'm glad to see that people are catching on! How this is so is the point.] This story is in the book of Genesis in the bible. [Ooops! Not exactly the same way it is in the Qur'an. And that difference makes all the difference.] Even the same people.[That depends what kind of Muslim you are, now, doesn't it? Those from the Northeast like Isaac. Those further South and West like Ismail. Anyway, I understand: its someone related in some way to Abraham. But the difference in the relationship makes all the difference.] It’s one of those parallel stories.[There you are wrong again. The Qur'an is just so very, very different. I've enumerated these differences time and again throughout Book 1 of the Trilogy. May I suggest you read it? It's a good story, just enough of a thriller to keep you reading even if some heavy academic topics regarding the murderous intrigue of interreligious politics are hashed out. This is one of those topics. Have a good read! And welcome! You are exactly the kind of person at whom I've aimed much of Book 1 of the Trilogy. Happy reading! Start by hitting the blog header and scrolling down to read all the opening pages (before beginning with chapter 1.]

By the way: Is not this kind of comment a confimation of all I’ve been saying about the Qur’an? No one denies what I say, they just try to rationalise it by pointing to what they think is the same kind of violence. Sorry, doesn’t work when you actually get into it. Cheers! — Fr Renzo di Lorenzo]
