(710 posts)But to apply the holy book literally is an extremely difficult task because it is written in a way that is open to interpretation by different people.
An example is the difference between Shiite and Sunni sects.
Which interpretation is the right one? How can anyone know which sect is applying the Koran literally and which sect has taken liberties with the interpretation of the text.
See, if Muslims themselves cannot agree on the interpretation of the texts, then who gets to decide which sect is guilty of blasphemy and deserves death.
There is no way to do so except what is happening now which is through violence and force.
But peaceful Muslims living all around the world don't pay attention to what you wrote, because peaceful Muslims know that they don't have the authority to decide who is blaspheming and who isn't all they can do is live their lives with their own interpretations of the text and hope they are the right one when the after life comes.
