I would not call Surah #1 - Al Fatihah fluff. It is an introduction or a preamble. Would you call the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution fluff?

I would not call the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution fluff as it was written by wise men; our Founding Fathers. I would call Surah #1 and praising a false God fluff. That is my personal opinion. I believe that Islam is a death cult and not a religion. It is the word of Muhammad, not God, and there is nothing divine about it. My opinion on Muhammad is that he was nothing more than a liar, terrorist and pedophile. Muhammad was not a prophet of Our Lord, but the prophet of Satan.

Whether you agree with it or not, Surah #1 - Al Fatihah, is important to the understanding of the Qu'ran. It is an introduction and in another sense a summary of the rest of the book.

There are three ways to approach this subject: positively, negatively, or neutral. Your antagonistic approach would be different from that of a Muslim. I intend to take a neutral, and I hope, objective approach.

If these very same words (Surah #1) had been spoken by Jesus, I sure that you would be praising them.

If, as some people claim, Muhammad plagiarized from the Bible, then at least the plagiarized parts may be agreable to you.
