> I'm no scholar of Islam but as I understand, the Qu'ran calls for Muslims to live in peace and harmony with unbelievers. Especially the "People of the Book" - those whose religions derive from one of the 12 prophets who arrived before Mohammed, including both Jesus and Moses.

I've just seen the letters page of a newpaper, which includes "a devout Muslim" quoting the following passage from the Qu'ran:

"Whosoever took a life, it is as though he has taken the life of all humankind, and whosoever saved a life, it is as though he has saved the life of all humankind"
