Now in their seventies, and retired from world saving, they come together one final time after one of them is critically injured and hospitalized. While the team tries to give her support, the injured member goes into a weird dream-coma and fights muslim zombies (antagonists that act as a metaphor for submitting to fate and accepting that she will die).

Once upon a time, this was mine.

Can you elaborate mate I'm interested.

I guess the first thing I noticed was a constant divisiveness. Even in the relatively peaceful Meccan verses believers are constantly praised and non-believers (including all other religions) are demonised. Then in the more violent (Medina based) verses there are outright calls to violence. The two sets of verses correspond to two phases of Muhammad’s life, in Mecca Muhammad and his followers were under attack from more powerful foes and fought in self defence, in Medina they had grown more powerful and had an expansionist military agenda.

How to reconcile the earlier (relatively) peaceful verses with the later violent ones? The Quran itself has an answer for that - several verses specifically dictate a doctrine of abrogation, that a later verse will always negate an earlier one. Violent jihadists are not acting out of any sort of unusual interpretation of islam, they are simply following the instructions of the Quran and the Hadiths.

I don’t believe that a Muslim is inherently bad - it’s actually an incredible testament to the good side of human nature that the vast majority of the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world will directly disobey their holy book by not fighting disbelievers and killing apostates.

but Muslims do not "directly disobey" the Koran by using something called C O N T E X T

There's crazy diversity in the translations since it's derived from archaic Arabic, so it's more likely that the interpretation is more the translator's than Alyo's.
