God did not give mankind His inspired Word and then say, "figure out which part is true" or "take whatever you like." The Bible is either God's inspired truth standard ...or mankind has no verifiable way to differentiate truth from error.

The Koran contradicts and differs from the Bible in many ways, most notably, Jesus Christ, the Savior and Lord of mankind. Call it whatever you like, but, that makes the Koran a lie. For modern, politically correct Christians to attempt to paint the Koran as "somewhat true" or "containing some truth" is like 'putting lipstick on a pig."

There is no truth in Islam at all. When examined, you'll see that it's the exact opposite of God and His Word. It's the demonic counterfeit of the gospel. Satan has the counterfeit of everything God has done.

I am not a Muslim and I do not monitor or critique other religions.

As a follower of Christ, this seems like an odd pastime, to say the least.

That's a glib form of political correctness. You're basically equating God's words and instructions as a "pastime."

Satan is the great deceiver who acts as an angel of light. He's tried to devise a spiritual counterfeit for all of God’s real workings. We're called to expose them to warn others.

To say nothing, especially in the name of "political correctness" is to do nothing. It's sitting idle in the path of sin. Don't you care about those who are deceived? Are you content to let them run into hell? That's the "strange pastime" for those who profess Christ.

Matthew 7:13-14 says, "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."

Right after this verse the Lord warns us of the false prophets which are ravening wolves who can be recognized by their fruits. Satan seeks to lead men down any path except the one that leads to life in Christ.
