25. An imam once told me you could sum up the Qur'an in the first chapter

which is called the Fatiha. It is very short, and is recited by Muslims several times a day in prayers. I'll give you a loose translation. Kindly tell me what in it could be perceived by Christians as a "dangerous world view":

In the Name of God, the Merciful and Compassionate
All Praise be to God, Master of the Universe!
Most Beneficent and Merciful,
Master of the Day of Judgement
Thee alone do we worship, and to Thee alone to we ask for help.
Guide us on the straight path,
The path of those who follow Your ways,
Not those who anger or go astray.
