The Quran does not teach violence. The actions of the Taliban and El Queda have as much relation to mainstream Muslims as Adolph Hitler had to mainstream Christians. Both justified atrocities with religious-seeming language. But so did the Christian Crusaders of 1,000 years ago; they mercilessly slaughtered Jews and Muslims who lived in Palestine together peacefully. Most of us do not understand our own religions’ foundations in a great prophet whose people interpreted his life within a social context. As the social conditions have changed, so the religions must also change. Those religionists who would try to take the world back only impede the visions of their religion’s founders.
