Mega dittoes.
Islam is the younger brother of whatever impulses led to the rise and spread of Christianity, with serious birth defects that occurred when it was aborning. Mohammed Ali, a sun-crazed old schizophrenic, reinterpreted the vast store of religious tracts and writings that existed at the time, then wrote his own version of the Creation story, discarding huge portions of much of the accumulated teachings of both the Old Testament and the New Testament, making only cursory references to “Issa” (Jesus) and ignoring altogether the long historical record of the Jewish people. Nowhere in that screed called the Koran is there any reference to either the Ten Commandments, or to the Golden Rule. The successful and favored son of Abraham was not Isaac, father of the Jewish people, but Ishmael, common ancestor to the various Arabic people. There were various cults that grew up in the ancient times, directly competing with the monotheistic notion of religion, one of which was worship of Moloch, demanding that children were to be cast into furnaces, and to whom sacrifices of even some adults were to be made. Somehow Moloch was conflated with a twisted version of the God of Abraham, and the result was Allah, a most bloodthirsty deity that demands strict and unwavering fealty, enforced by bearded men with burning eyes.
Islam is in SERIOUS need of Reformation.
Exactly.
And they put considerable energy into not understanding Christianity or islam.
