Living In The Real World

Some people apparently have a problem with it.

Bombing Suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Last year (May 12, 2012), retweeted this:
I don't know of anything in this Dunya that could uplift & increase the good manners & behavior of a person the way Islam does.
Dunya apparently means material world.

So how does rape, robbery, and murder -- the behavior demanded by the Koran -- raise the manners of someone?

It doesn't.

What is the maximum effective range of an excuse?

Zero.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?
