N2  - "I grew up reading the Qur'an on my mother's lap," writes Ziauddin Sardar. "It's an experience I share with most Muslim children. And so it is that our connection to the Qur'an is infused with associations of the warmest and most enduring of human bonds."

Indeed, some find in the Qur'an justification for misogyny, validation for hatred.
