Qur'an 20090221

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

59. Say, "O people of the Book! Do you disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the revelation that has come to us, and that which came before, and that most of you are rebellious and disobedient?"

60. Say, "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this, by the treatment it received from Allah? Those who incurred the curse of Allah and God's wrath, those of whom God transformed into apes and swine, those who worshipped evil: these are worse in rank, and far more astray from the even Path!"

The Repast 5:59-60
--------------------------------------------------------
"People of the Book": the Qur'an is the Book too, right? I assume this includes people who call themselves "Muslim".

"Apes": lawless, buffoons, everything is a joke.

"Swine": gluttony, gross and excessive living.
