A hashtag asking which Quranic verses are ‘inappropriate’ is trending in Arabic on Twitter. It is not known exactly what prompted the hashtag, however it appears that most of those tweeting it are not providing the verses they find inappropriate, instead opting to either curse the original poster, or express their upset at the idea in general.

Insulting Islam and the Quran is considered by many to be a serious taboo, with some countries in the Islamic world outlawing it altogether. For that reason, the hashtag is extremely controversial.

See some of the tweets below.

A few people gave their input on which verses were not appropriate. 

The historical ones, because there's no benefit from them(at a fundamental level). The ones about Sharia Law, because they're harmful and don't work. Prayers and whatnot, because there's no benefit from them.

All of that "Drink until you see the first light of dawn" stuff [e.g. Ramadan]. There's Muslims at the poles and the sun never [goes down there!]

The whole Quran. All verses about demons and evil spirits, Discrimination against women, Sharia law, And many more others.

Others were less than enthusiastic about the hashtag, to say the least. 

Who ever doubts something from the Quran is merely an infidel. As God said (No one challenges [what's written in the Quran except for infidels.])

May the curse of Allah be upon all atheists

Those who lie about the [Quran] and scorn it will be the first to suffer in the fires of hell.
