Some of the people involved are priests, and some are students of Islam - do you think
that these are people who are committing crimes in the name of religion? Again this is
a straight question, I'm not drawing any conclusions at the moment.
What's wrong is wrong. They may think they're doing right and may feel it to be their
pious duty, however it is still wrong. How God will judge them is another matter, let
God do that. However, it is important to speak up and point out that it's incorrect and
inhumane.
Please also bear in mind that all religions have suffered the tragedy of deviation from
the original message, misunderstood and convoluted it into something terrible.
Exactly. And why is that? Isn't it because religions derive their dogma from divine
revelations which cannot be discarded, only "interpreted". What religion ever praised the
will to find out instead of the will to believe?
Islam has also suffered thus. However, the arabic Quran is preserved in written form and
in the minds of millions of people since it was revealed.
And how do you know the ramblings of an illiterate merchant revealed anything except his
ignorance and prejudices.
That is the criteria that I apply to evaluate whether something is correct or not. You
may have noticed that I present Quranic verses to answer or explain my point, which I
believe is divinely revealed, and not Hadith which I believe are human efforts at
compiling history and thus are replete with human shortcomings.
You keep saying what you believe - but you give no reason that anyone else
should believe it.
