Bullshit. People take out of their religion what they want to believe, hence we have such a variation of denominations and degrees of fundamentalism and commitment that exists today in all religions.

For example, the bible says thou shall not kill. How observant have Christians been in that regard ? You can find cause to do violence or good works in both the bible (how come I don’t deel compelled to capitalize the bible) and the Koran.
