The Mussies are running wild.
I'm not a theologian and I don't even play one on TV.
So what follows is just my fallible personal opinion.
From all I learned on 9-11 and having watched the Saudi-subsidized
apologetics "Legacy of The Prophet" that aired a month or two
on PBS (with your and my tax dollars!!!) after 9-11...
Islam simply comes up short as a transcendent religion/philosophy.
It's a decent "Bushido" code for surviving in a barren landscape with
insufficient resources to sustain a large, peaceable population.
In general, that's what I see in Islam.
The Koran presents a veneer of religional respectability for
beheading enemies and enslaving the non-believers' wives and children.
And "paradise" and "virgins" for the males that perish in the
enterprise.
The Koran appears to be a decent codification of what to do to make
oneself rich after stealing other people's stuff.
But in fairness...I'd say it sounds like required reading for
the MBA program in today's universities.
Kinda' like "The Art of War" on steroids and infused with
a hyper-fervent religiosity.
