Jan Morgan Research Paper

Jan Morgan stated, “ Islam cannot and will not peacefully co-exist with any other religion on earth. Never.” Jan Morgan made this statement because she felt as if Islam was a religion of violence. Ever since the 9/11 attack, a majority of Americans have this concept that Muslims are terrorist and the religion promotes violence. Americans say the teachings within the Quran condone the use of violence to spread the faith. They believe that Islam is a dangerous ideology, if it is to survive in the future it will need a massive transformation. I refute with this statement because Islam promotes peace. Islam teaches us to respect our fellow human beings, whether Islamic or not. “O humankind!

We do not judge other people and we do not dislike ones based on their religion. To clarify, The Quran forbids killing.
They both teach the creation of the world by a supreme, infinite God who commands human beings to follow the morality paths set out for them.

One verse in the Bible states, ““Which law is the first of all?” Jesus said in answer, “The first is, Give ear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord”” (The Holy Bible, Mark 12:28-30). In comparison, a verse in the Quran states, “And your God is One God. There is no God but Him, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.” (The Holy Quran, Al-Baqara 2:163) By all means, if they say the Quran promotes violence, does that mean the bible promotes violence as
