I read a comment on the daily mail comments section which said the Quran tells Muslims to do what ISIS are doing, eg behead people, cause terror
Surely its not true?

The comments under Daily Mail articles should not be taken seriously.
Most religions can be interpreted in different ways, when you have a religion which has no head, like the Pope or Archbishop of Canterbury, then the possibilties of wide interpretion are greater.
The answer can only be yes, but it tells others different and often contadictory things.
If you are some nutter, the Qu'ran will give you every passage you need to feel guiltless whilst killing.
And illiterate comment by someone who didn't read the OP correctly (it was a comment from a reader NOT the Mail itself) and who thinks it is still hysterically funny to call it the Daily Fail in an attempt to put it and anyone who reads it, down.
And Daily Mail comments are still not meant to be taken seriously regardless of any reader who has posted there.
Indeed. If you just interpret the original bible (ie. the Hebrew version, or even the KJV) at face value, then if you are Christian and you see a chap who has boinked another chap, then in theory, you are to bury him in sand until just his head is poking out then throw stones and rocks at him until he conks it!
Of course, your local vicar would probably advise against doing that these days.
The problem is in trying to pin down exactly what Islam is and teaches. It has differing rules for different situations. I'm pretty certain that the executions they broadcast to the world weren't justified by the quran/islam because the people they killed were innocent but it could be justified if they weren't.
You've probably heard you need to put things in context when someone quotes the quran and i'm never sure what people mean when they say it because even if you put it into the historic context the quran says it is meant for all time.
I had a funny conversation with a self styled "islamic commentator" about an often quoted phrase that there is no compulsion in Islam.
When i pointed out that muhammad said he would burn down the houses of everyone who didn't go to mosque his reply was:-
Ahh but he didn't because the women were at home
I've heard IS referred to as bad Muslims this week. Are the people who don't behead, kidnap and murder bad Muslims instead? And in whose judgment? Nobody whose matters I'd say.
The Daily Mail will publish any old tripe to incite Muslim hatred.
The problem is too many ignorant people fall for it.
Is it the bit about running like fvck for the bomb shelters?
I think any religion worth a moments consideration should manage to leave not a moments doubt where it stands on beheading random people or indeed any people. i.e. it is not a good thing.
I saw something outragious on Sky News yesterday. In the Koran it is not allowed for Muslims to feel sorry for non- Muslims under any circumstances.
It's what ISIS tells its followers.
WTF, so the question should be why should non muslims feel sorry for muslims.?

In a word: no.
It sort of does. It is what moderate muslims are fighting against - that Islam isn't a theocracy and shariah isn't law.
There wouldn't be a debate if it didn't. It is why Iran is hanging gay people.
