If there is a passage that diverts our attention away from charity and compassion, it should be removed. The same holds true for the Koran and Torah. It is recorded that Confucius said, "Do not impose on others what you do not wish for yourself." Five centuries later, Christ taught the Golden Rule with similar words. That is the whole of it. Of the Abrahamic religions, not much more matters than the nurturing of compassion. Compassion is what brings us to God, not endless words, doctrines, creeds, or hatred.

No.
