On various internet sites.. which is why I was curious as to the validity of these alarming quotes. Internet sites are very often incorrect, hence-- why I like to check sources.

I had hoped, since Opi is of Islamic faith, she or another Muslim on GC would be able to weigh in on them.. Opi eventually did... but I still have questions. Due to the age of most scriptures (in nearly any religion) and the further complication of a language translation.. it can be quite complex.

I also questioned whether these quotes are taken out of context. I'm still not sure about that, and will be doing lots more reading.

She brought up some very good points regarding the way they are referenced, so I'm doing more research myself.

I have pinned one verse down already, and am researching the others.

Now, if you'll pardon me for a while, I must get ready to go to work.

Well, one would usually expect a former LAW reporter to check out the validity of sources BEFORE posting them in a discussion.

Why would you use a source you acknowledge is "very often incorrect" instead of a reliable one? Why, after using what you acknowlege is a "very often incorrect" source would you expect others to comment on the accuracy of the source?

As a law reporter, didn't you learn about citing primary sources or how to develop an effective, logically sound argument?
