A guy is cutting your throat, all the while saying, "Look, our Book is peaceful, it's tolerant and respectful, you know nothing about how peaceful it really is! Just read it!"
You are a wise sage, my friend, but I dont think me reading the book will help with the other guy cutting my throat, will it? I didn't say I am cutting his throat, did I?
Sure, reading Koran would help us understand the enemy better, and I will most likely read it myself, but in the end it doesn't matter. Koran may say "Kill them all" or it may say "Love them all", but as long as Muslims interpret that as "Kill them all" regardless (which they do), it makes no difference.
