“The Quran's angry denunciations of all who qualify as 'infidels,' its warnings against

interaction with 'unbelievers' and its promises that 'those who deny Our revelations will burn in fire...no sooner will their skins be consumed than We shall give them other skins, so that

they may truly taste the scourge' (Quran, 4:55) are read by the faithful and elaborated by mullahs in sermons too rarely marked by

restraint.”
