In real life, if you go meet a few, I am quite sure you will find that many Muslims do not take their scripture literally. It is the real world application of a religion by any particular adherent that impacts society, not what you happen to think the associated text dictates. Passages are regularly ignored or reinterpreted by adherents of religions to suit their personal needs or desires. An Islamic politician who wants to promote literacy can find plenty of support for that agenda in his religious texts. And a politician who opposes that agenda can also find support for his agenda in those same texts. That's the nature of the beast. Revising the text itself may be forbidden but that doesn't mean the interpretation and practice of the religion are immutable traits, universal to all adherents.

Did you not see my several replies to you in this thread? Posting like this after we explicitly asked you to stop will get you banned on HN.

I'm not going to ban you right now, because I want to make sure that you saw the warnings. But please don't post any more religious flamewar or anything that remotely resembles religious flamewar, full stop.

There is enough data on the contrary. Riots in Delhi during President Trump's visit, lynchings of Muslims suspected of eating beef in India, dont we know the history.
