I'm an Aussie. Care to explain 96? It means nothing to me.
OK, so now I have the message. Islam THINKS the hadith, the sayings and doings of mohammad have meaning, but you know different.
Care to share that information with the clerics? And while you are at it, how about you tell them that all the nice 'verses' in the koran are fine, but the later, nasty ones, which abrogate the nice ones, have to be disregarded, removed, stripped out of the koran. OUT! FINITO! NO MORE!
I want to see the 'kill the jews hiding behind rocks' removed, get it? And that business about kuffar being filthy dirty etc, I want that out. All of it. Just the nice bits remain, and we all get along. Off you go, you have work to do.
"...but the later, nasty ones, which abrogate the nice ones, have to be disregarded, removed, stripped out of the koran."
Oops, watch it... a historian knows the later ones are NOT part of the Koran - thats a rookie mistake.
But at least, as someone interested in it from a historical perspective, you seem to agree that the nasty bits come later, a minimum of 150 years later...
