My free copy came in the mail last week. My boyfriend said, “You know you’re on “The List” now.” I doubt it, but if I am, I don’t mind.
How to read the Koran
It made me
sad in pants. 
"why the hell did i just spend almost a half a year just to see that all religions DO in fact suck due to their exclusivity?"
How I did it: learned Arabic, read the Qur'an. simple as that. ooh, you want me to write more about it? nah im good. im just going to write Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah v Blah v v v Blah v Blah Blah
Lessons & tips: you should learn Arabic first, that is the way it was intended to be read, said Mohammad (PBUH)
Resources: faith, boredom, naivete...

Why I still haven't finished

I discovered that the only way to read the Koran is by reading it in Arabic. I don’t know Arabic, therefore I shall learn how (”,)
which leads me to my new goal…

Wow. Just wow. The Quran is such a joke. It’s by far the most vacuous, morally bankrupt religious text I’ve ever read.
Half the book so far has been dedicated to discussing how corrupt Jews/Christians are and how they should all be murdered. The other half has been co-opting their stories from the Bible BUT claiming that all the Prophets were actually Muslims (Adam, Moses, David, Jesus, etc). I seriously had to go look-up verses online to make sure this was really a real copy of the Quaran. I thought I had somehow found a fake copy made by someone hoping to slander Muslims. Their book is really that bad.
Thank goodness most Muslims don’t actually read and follow their own book… just like Jews and Christians. They just carry it around and assume it says nice things about loving people because that’s what their cleric says.
I still plan to finish reading it and continue taking notes for completeness sake. The Bible also has no redeeming message for the first 80% of the book and at least a few unique, valuable ideas towards the end. Perhaps the Quran has something to offer like that as well??

I am a muslim & would like to get more spiritual and closer to god. I guess this is a good way to start. I want to read the Koran more often – 3 times a week if not daily.. I hope I can do this :)

A rather odd “goal”, considering I’m a devoted Christian and all, but I do definitely want to read the Koran to learn more about Muslims and what they believe, they probably know more about my faith than I know about theirs. What I do know of it is that it’s a very misunderstood book, especially by the Western World.
I don’t intend to convert to Islam or anything, but I am a very curious person of the world around me, especially what makes others tick.

Well, if you intend to be open-minded.. I’d like to learn more about some religions, since I myself am an atheist, I don’t know anything about any religion. I’d like to broaden my view.
