Nabil,

You're missing the big picture here. - THE BIG PICTURE IS THE MASS DELUSION THAT MUSLIMS LIVE IN.

I strongly believe that had Muhammad been alive today, he would not have done some of the things that he did back then. He would have acted within the existing laws of the land as he did back then. His deeds were not meant to be valid for all times. SO A PROPHET NEEDS LAWS TO KEEP HIM IN LINE? I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND. ANYWAY, I THANK YOU FOR SAYING HIS DEEDS WERE NOT MEANT FOR ALL TIMES. NOW TELL THAT TO YOUR MULLAH NEXT TIME YOU'RE IN A MOSQUE.

Perhaps you did not read my previous response to you properly: I knocked down some of your points completely. Some of what you said with regard to his deeds were false. MY APOLOGIES THAT I SAID MUHAMMAD ORDERED THE CUTTING OFF OF HAND AND FEET. I RE-READ "THE TRUTH ABOUT MUHAMMAD" BY ROBERT SPENCER AND YOU'RE RIGHT. ITS HEADS THAT WERE CUT OFF.

Remember that he was never accused of being a "pervert", although plenty of insults had been heaped upon him by his enemies...from being a sorcerer and a wizard to being bewitched. WHAT DO YOU CALL A 53-YEAR OLD MAN COPULATING A 9-YEAR OLD GIRL? DOES TIME MAKE A CRIME OK?

But the words of the Qur'an had a powerful effect on thousands of people who heard them from him, including a number of notable Jews of Medina who responded positively to it, even at the risk of being shunned by their larger communities. - THE QURAN IS NOTHING BUT JUDAISM REHASHED. READ "WHY I AM NOT A MUSLIM" BY IBN WARRAQ.

Do you believe that the Bible needs to be revised? It is, after all, a violent book in itself...even more so than the Qur'an. Read it for yourself if you don't believe me. - YOU'RE RIGHT, THAT'S WHY THERE IS A NEW TESTAMENT. WE NEED A NEW QURAN. BUT THE PROBLEM IS MUHAMMAD. DUMP MUHAMMAD AND ISLAM ITSELF FALLS. THIS, I BELIEVE, IS WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO ISLAMIC REFORMATION.

If the Quran were to be changed by man to fit his selfish desires or to allay his fears, it would cease to be the Qur'an. - SINCE THE QURAN TELLS US THE SUN SETS IN A MUDDY POOL AND MOUNTAINS ARE NAILS HOLDING UP THE EARTH TO KEEP IT FROM SHAKING, SHOULD IT CHANGE?

He is an example to us today by means of his good deeds...and there are plenty of them, all of which you have conveniently left out and focused solely on alleged "bad deeds". Nice.,..ALL HUMANS ARE A MIXTURE. HITLER CRIED WHEN HIS CANARIES DIED AND HE LOVED EVA BRAUN. DOES THAT MAKE HITLER A GOOD HUMAN?
