I agree with you. And we wouldn't be having this discussion if people were turning to more orthodox beliefs and not the one that is hell bent on taking over the world by any means whatsoever.

To be honest all religions at some time or other have done that, and all countries have tried it too. It seems the human condition to try to make everyone like us.

We were taught in school that the Qur'an has descended, word for word, from the creator Allah, through Muhammad. This is accepted throughout the entirety of the Islamic word. If we take this speculation as accurate information of Islam, then every Muslim is supposed to follow Allah’s verses exactly in order to be a good Muslim and to be considered a representative of the real ideology and religion of Islam.

Secondly, if we take the assertion that the Qur'an is made up of Allah’s words as being true, then Qur'anic verses should be followed for eternity, as long as human beings exist in this universe. No changes are allowed to Allah’s rules and words because Allah, as Muslims say, is perfect and his knowledge is absolute. As a result, his words cannot be relative and every word he utters or reveals should apply in any time of human history.

In fact, even Muhammad himself repeatedly said that two things a Muslim should follow are the Qur'an (words of Allah) and the Hadith (Muhammad’s teachings).

Considering this information and based on these standards, a true Muslim, who represent the real Islam, should be the one who follows and obeys Allah’s words (from the Qur'an) completely. As a result, anyone who ignores some of the rules is not, and cannot be, considered a reflection of Islam, a good Muslim, or even a Muslim. Accordingly, Allah’s words and rules are not a basket of vegetable to choose from, meaning that one cannot obey some orders and disregard others.

If I thought anyone would really want to hear them I bet I could find more peaceful quotes in the Koran than any other, Same goes for the Bible some awful things in there that no peaceful person would ever follow we look for the good.

We need to look at why a few people are looking at the non peaceful quotes and making up a seemingly new religion with them.

This is what's so confusing to me,Every Religion treats women as Second Class Citizens.Were I female, I certainly would not allow myself to be treated that way.Especially in this Day and Age.So to stand up for and speak in favor of this treatment,bewilders me.Many women throughout time have made considerable breakthroughs in Science,Geology,Medicine,Art's,Mathematics the list goes on,yet still whatever Religion they practice,or have Belief in.They are NOT Equal,So Why follow it and stand up for what is clearly Biased and Unfair.Confused Here.If you see that and perpetuate these Ideals then it will continue.I feel Women are as equal as MEN.No religion does that.I think those Women that are Religious need to rethink the whole concept of it.JMO
