The Texts, Compared

Same Questions,
Two Scriptures

The Qur'an and the Torah, side by side, on the questions that get argued over: violence, the outsider, women, and mercy. The same standard for both.

Every tradition has verses of mercy and verses that are hard to read. Here they sit next to each other. One honest twist: the badges measure different things. Islam's texts are rated for authenticity, because hadith vary widely in reliability. Judaism's are rated for practice, because the texts are canonical but the living tradition turned most of the hard ones into history or dead letters. That difference, what a tradition does with its hard texts, is the real story this page tells.
