    Doesn't count, that's the equivalent of flicking through the Beano and saying you've got a literature degree.

    Which dictionary and which bit?

    Sequel has different meanings in different context.

    So specify what YOU mean/understand of the word

    Nope.

    Even more of a reason to not use foul language!

    I'm happy to go with the first definition that comes up:

    sequel
    ˈsiːkw(ə)l/
    noun
    noun: sequel; plural noun: sequels
    1. a published, broadcast, or recorded work that continues the story or develops the theme of an earlier one.
      "the sequel to Home Alone"
      synonyms: follow-up, continuation
      "the film was successful enough to inspire a sequel"
      • something that takes place after or as a result of an earlier event.
        "this encouragement to grow potatoes had a disastrous sequel some fifty years later"

    In what way is it wrong? You keep saying things like this, without saying why.

    I can't remember verse names and the such, but mainly the parts where muslims are instructed to "kill them [non believers] wherever you find them", the part about offering eternal agony in this life and the next to all non believers.
    Just looked this one up because I couldn't remember the verse and whatnot:
    Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

    Was nearly 20 years ago that I read it.
    There are lots of nice messages in the Qu'ran too, same with the Bible. Lots of morality tales, but they are both very hypocritical and disjointed.
    Don't ask me to offer examples, because if you have read either book and didn't spot the inconsistencies, then you are not ever likely to.

    As soon as you explain how it'd a sequel in the definition you cut and pasted.

    Remember now YOU made the claim and as you are fond of saying it's the claimant who needs to offer proof.

    So how is the Quran a sequel, by your definition, to the bible?

    You'd think if they were just gonna edit old religious scripts to make the Quran, they'd just take out the bit about pigs.

    They ****ed up there.

    It's a published work that continues the story and develops the theme of the Bible and previous works.

    Are you sure you read it or just googled sites ran by likes if Sam Shamoun?

    I only ask as this is typical of the nonsense they spout

    Take the kill them where you find them quote his come you don't remember, and they don't cite, what comes before and after?

    It's not like you have to rely on interpretations or hidden meanings etc. Man even Orlando bloom knows as the guy who played salahudin in kingdom of heaven explained it.

    Have tbh mate and say its tedious

    You have read it, haven't you? You don't seem to be at all familiar with it.

    Yes I know its more about defending your faith from those who would do it harm.
    But I don't see that as conducive to 21st Century living.
    And is that not a direct quote from the Qu'ran I posted above?
    I know, context and all that, but what context could possibly make the line "I will strike terror into non believers and strike off their heads....." an acceptable approach? <laugh>

    Yes I have and do read it, daily recently

    Now address the questions relating to YOUR claim and stop trying to divert the conversation

    I've already answered your question. Feel free to deny the obvious, but it clearly fits the definition of a sequel.
    You're merely saying that it doesn't without explaining your reasons.
    It's an extremely disingenuous method of discussion, rather reminiscent of DMD talking politics, rather ironically.
    I've pointed out this similarity before, though not specifying you personally, of course.
