You miss the total sarcasm in that last line of mine you quoted?
Muhammad started Islam (from pagan moon god worship) as an aggressive ideology for regional/world conquest by war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ns_of_Muhammad And that aggression is still present to this day.

Note how Saludeen completely dodged backing up his charge about the RCC persecuting Muslims unfairly and being the root cause of Muslim aggression.

Its because its not true.

Anyway Muhammad's religion was based off of the people and culture that inhabited the Middle East, and it was a way to rationalize his EARTHLY surroundings in the Middle East.

Rape, slaves, conquest, among other things were a NATURAL part of the environment of Muhammad's early life and time in the region. THIS IS WELL KNOWN BY HISTORIANS. The religion was formed in an environment where people NEEDED AND REQUIRED a pagan ideology that they could follow and use to rationalize the EVILS of humankind.

THEREFORE SHARIA LAW IS PAGAN LAW.

Muhammad's journey was about young adulthood into adulthood, and you can see how his later years were tempered and more spiritual and less worldly.

Islam started as a VERY worldly religion because it was a PAGAN religion with PAGAN ideologies required to explain the UNCIVIL behavior and IMPULSIVE NATURE of MAN found in the Middle East.

ISLAM IS AN EXPLANATION AND APOLOGY FOR THE VIOLENT BEHAVIOR OF MANKIND. ITS LITERALLY THE ORIGINAL "LIBERAL APOLOGIST". EVERYTHING MUHAMMAD DID WAS TO CREATE A STATE THAT COULD MANAGE THE VIOLENT NATURE OF MANKIND IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

There are so many ways to interpret Islam that you CANNOT ATTEMPT THIS YOURSELF. Self-study of Islam is arrogant and ignorant. This is why study groups existed, in post-Muhammad's time. The religion belongs in the hands of the Imams and you absolutely CANNOT translate it out of Accurate Arabic. Saludeen is a damn fool for studying the Quran in English.
