One for "Peace"
"Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) Hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them)."[Qur'an 15:3]

Seems like someone missed this one, I am looking at YOU Usama!

Even a verse that advocates peace (one of very few so far) comes off as a threat. In all fairness, there is a great deal of this sort of smugness in Christianity as well. This verse sums up the feelings expressed in a number of emails and face-to-face discussions I have had with Christians.
