I am a big microwave fan. I make my tea in the microwave, and warm it once or twice before finally finishing it.

Also, not unlike many people I know, we warm at least one food item during lunch and dinner.

Today my wife announced, “Everything is piping hot. We don’t need the microwave.” I then suggested that we should give it to someone.

She said, “Give what?”

I said, “The microwave.”

She said, “Why?”

I said, “You just said, ‘We don’t need the microwave.’ ”

She just looked at me as if I were crazy.

For centuries, the opponents of the Qur’an have been playing similar games with the verses of the Qur’an by quoting them out of context.
