What makes Mo so normal that he can’t be depicted like the other folks in the mosaics and paintings of him, and the tiles need to be excised or painted over?

…pseudo-muslims…
Give me a fucking break.

it’s also mind boggling how cultural mores have been associated to Islam when they are not part of it
…like not raping children, do you mean?

…political problems (some of which were created by the West) make religion the only unifying element for the masses..so it is used for political purposes…
No. Islam was explicitly created as a totalitarian theo-political ideology. It’s no one else’s fault. That was the whole point from the start.

And regarding you last ‘point’: there are more than 1.2 billion christians in the world. Are you saying they must be right, because there are more of them than muslims? Didn’t think so.

Narrated ‘Aisha:

that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death). ‘

1.2 Billion people can’t all be that stupid.
Why not?

pedophile? bandit? wow…what are your sources?

1. Religious fanaticism doesn’t exist in Islam only.. funny how the instant Islam is associated to it, then it’s an avalanche of insults that follows. Looks like sheer ignorance to me.

2. Today’s muslims or pseudo-muslims misrepresent to a large extent the message of their religion. most so-called muslims follow blindly the interpretations of a few scholars…it’s also mind boggling how cultural mores have been associated to Islam when they are not part of it. Most muslim don’t fully understand what the Coran says due to illiteracy. In these kind of societies political problems (some of which were created by the West) make religion the only unifying element for the masses..so it is used for political purposes.

Indeed Mohamed was a simple man and consequently did things that we (now) might not agree with..but that doesn’t take away of the importance of his message and how he changed the world instigating one of the most diverse and important Civilizations humanity witnessed when Europe was in the dark ages. Some of the things he did were probably not in line with today’s social standards but they were very common practices back then. The woman he married was not touched until she reached puberty for e.g…. it’s crazy how a few dismissed facts can make the whole difference!

I encourage you to read about Islam with a more open mind.. 1.2 Billion people can’t all be that stupid.

he wasn’t special. muslims don’t believe he was special. he was a normal simple man. that’s why there is no shrine.

also you’re concept of ‘special’ is a little childish is it not?

All of Arabia under Muhammad’s command? Have you read about the Ridda Wars? That’s the war waged by Muhammad’s followers after Muhammad’s death to bring back to Islam the people who apostatized after Mo’s death and to convert by the sword or kill the pagan, christian and jewish arabs who wouldn’t submit to islam.
