Actually (I may not have been clear), I meant that the Quaran, the Bible, the Torah, etc. were all noble books, but all had had been perverted throughout history to justify bloody actions against other "non-believers".
It can be argued, and I may be opening myself up here, that all religious books are, in essence political books. But that's a bit far off the topic of the thread...
