Every time someone quotes a troubling verse from the Quran, the answer is the same: you're taking it out of context. So I did the opposite. I read every verse in full context, with Islam's own greatest classical scholars as my guide; Ibn Kathir, Al-Tabari, Al-Qurtubi, and asked honestly: does context fix the problem or make it worse? This episode goes through the verses on violence, women, apostasy, and non-Muslims that fourteen centuries of Islamic jurisprudence built entire legal systems from. The sources are open. The conclusions are not comfortable.
