	Hmm, it seems the Koran is like many religious works,
it is a bit ambigious.   The following quote from the Koran,
chapter 109 "The Unbelievers" does not sound too bad to me.
It is pretty close to the way I think about people of different
religious persuations.

 	In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
	Say: 'Unbelievers, I do not serve what you worship, nor do
	you serve what I worship.  I shall never serve what you 
	worship, nor will you ever serve what I worship.  You
	have your religion and I have mine.'
