Or even recast as: You may not be interested in the Koran, but the Koran is interested in you. While one may very well hold the position that reading the Koran is very depressing, a viewpoint that is not at all unreasonable, consider the following statement and its recast wording: “You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.” Let’s recast this to read as follows: You may not be interested in Islam, but Islam is interested in you. Even though my purpose here is to better my own understanding, and even though one comment received was that this can be a summary useful to one starting out to investigate the nature of Islam, how any one individual uses this document is entirely up to him/her, including not doing anything at all with it. To put it another way, hierarchically, underlying these questions is the issue of the nature of Islam, and underlying that issue is what is in the Koran (since the Koran is a foundational document of Islam). Thus, the present compendium will help form the foundation to aid in addressing these other questions. In order to help answer these myriad of questions, the nature of Islam needs to be addressed and, in turn to help answer that question, the tenets of the Koran need to be addressed.
