Yes, I have read some of it. I own a Quran and can look up verses right now if need be.

We are having a discussion so when I ask you about something then sure you do need to qualify your sentences by saying what you do and don't like about something. Why be vague and not just state your full opinions? We are having a back and forth. I'm trying to get to the bottom of what you think about things in general.

I've already stated that I am aware of the difference between the majority of good intentioned Muslims and terrorists.

This is true and the same can be said of the Bible as well. It is just a blanket thing that applies to all Holy text.
