Quote Challenge – Quran – Humanity is but a single Brotherhood: So make peace with your Brethren.

Thank you Shreya for challenging me with providing three quotes a day.

I do not usually like doing challenges or awards but this one quite appealed.

I shall quite enjoy sorting out three quotes a day.

I’m not sure about nominating other bloggers. I’ll have a think.

I’ve got to be sure they’d want to do it. It is a bit of a faff. Particularly if you are busy.

This is Shreya’s blog site – https://shreyasharmasite.wordpress.com/2016/04/25/quote-challenge-day-2/#respond – so check that one out.

This is the first of my quotes for today:

If only religions selected the nice stuff from the texts we wouldn’t have a problem. Unfortunately they select the texts to support their own psychopathic urges, power madness and cruelty.

In my view making peace with your brethren (and I would include women) does not include throwing them off high buildings, burying them alive, make them sex slaves, gang raping, beheading them, crucifying them, burning them alive, drowning them, blowing their heads off with explosives, hacking them with machetes, slowly crushing them with rocks or all the other barbaric practices favoured by ISIS, Boko Haram, A Qaeda, Taliban or other fundamentalist groups.

You can twist religion to suit your power-mad games.

The Prophet said – Make Peace with your Brethren!

Might be an idea for people who believe to take note of him.

My three nominees are:

Dave Kingsbury – an intelligent voice of sanity in the midst of a sea of madness:

Anna Cottage who should be able to come up with some great Rod McKuen quotes:

Cheryl at Calensarial who is a font of knowledge and can knock a few interesting quotes off the top of her head

https://promptlings.wordpress.com/

And Mary at Walking my path – I’m sure she would have great nature quotes

There – I’ll nominate some others later!
