How disconcerting as a non-believer to read such hostility towards non-believers in the first handful of pages:
"Beware of the Fire whose fuel is mankind and stones, made
ready for the unbelievers"

Always so disappointing to see slavery enthusiastically supported via codification in the Qur'an, as in the Bible before it. I didn't necessarily expect different, but still.

The Cow is the opening surah, noteworthy in its retellings of both Old and New Testament content, including Adam and the Garden of Eden, Moses and the Exodus, Saul, Jesus and Mary, and others. I wonder how many Christians realize this stuff is in here.
On the downside, it's quite harsh against unbelievers, regularly referring to us as evildoers and constantly reminding us we're destined to burn in hell.

Yup, we're reading this one this year. Hopefully it's an easier read than my KJV experience last year... We'll soon see.
