Just as there is a depth to the Bible which a literalist reading does not begin to comprehend, so it is with the Qur'an. The eye that sees the surface of the water does not begin to comprehend the denizens of its depths.
And why is it that the "literalists" are often the "loudest"?
They rant and rave ~ whether from the pulpit, the mosque or across the backyard fence ~ and have no idea of the spiritual magnificence they're not even seeing.
