I knew a Jehovah's Witness neighbour - I say knew because he has passed away - who was a delightful fellow with a delightful sense of humour. He was one of several door knockers who I invited in for a chat, and we got to know each other well.
So I don't persecute JWs.

Religious apologists have some set in concrete supporting notions on their favourite characters and doctrines which quoting history and sacred texts is not going to change them. This happens even for those who acknowledge problems. So, there may be little point in my adding my penny's worth of quotes here and now.
My major concern right now is not how you interpret the Koran, but rather how a large number of Muslims do so.
For example.
- Those who wish to impose Shariah Law on the rest of us by violence if necessary.
- Those who wish to curtail our right to freedom of speech by violence if necessary.
Of course not all objections I have against religions are confined to Islam; far from it.
For example.
I don't want the religious going around telling my grandchildren to embrace their beliefs of else face very unpleasant consequences. In spite of a claim made by you that the Bahá'í Faith is atheist friendly, you also claimed that non-believers have nothing post death as opposed to believers.

I don't persecute anyone for what goes on in their heads and try to encourage all to also refrain.
