#3 Archbishop of Sydney Cardinal George Pell said reading Islam's holy book was vital "because the challenge of Islam will be with us for the remainder of our lives".

Agreed. I did, and it was an eye-opener.

Factual errors, inconsistencies, anachronisms and other defects were difficult for Muslims to debate openly, Dr Pell said. "In my own reading of the Koran, I began to note down invocations to violence. There are so many of them, however, that I abandoned this exercise after 50 or 60 or 70 pages," he said.

No kidding.
