CURMALLY: Would an Insan al Kamil keep slaves, marry a six year old or torture and kill for money?

Curmally you write:

>>If what your Afghan friend has said Pakistan is behind the Taliban and created them. Then your Afghan friends have forgotten that the Taliban originated in Kandahar around 1992or 1994. Now Kandahar is not in Pakistan.That city is in Afghanistan. perhaps your friends need to refresh their knoeledge of the geography of Afghanistan.<<

That the Talibans were fed, clothed and motivated by the ISI is not the best kept secret either in Pakistan or the world. Whether this was done from Kandhahar or Mecca is immaterial to your culpability in creating one of the most monstrous groups in the modern world.

Your previous president has confessed that you are responsible for the terrorists that regularly create mayhem in India. Now that these terrorists have turned their guns on Pakistan you scream that you are the worst victims of terror. As the saying goes sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.

>>When have I preached Islam to you? I have risen in defense of my religion. If what I am doing is something alien to you, then learn from it. I have never ever asked anyone to believe as I do nor belittled their beliefs but I will not permit anyone to mock it or make fun of my belief.<<

If you don't preach Islam (as you claim) then you are not a good Muslim. What else is Islam but preaching about the greatness of an unseen, unheard being. Every page of the Koran reeks of preaching and Muslims are to told to fight those who do not accept this teaching. Read Koran 9:29 or 9:33. These verses are injunctions from your Lord to preach and make Islam victorious. If you do not preach Islam to unbelievers you are not a good Muslim. The whole of the Prophet's life i.e. sunnah is about preaching, preaching and preaching (and if that did not succeed fighting, fighting and fighting) to infidels like us.

>>Understand we don 't repeat do not worship Mohammad (may peace be upon him) we worship Allah the Almighty creator of all things.<<

But you associate Mohammed's name with that of Allah in your shahada. And more than your prayers it is the shahada that is critical to your being a Muslim.

>>We maintain That the Prophet ( may peace be upon him) was mortal as we are.<<

As was pointed out on this blog, Mohammed is dead so there is no need to belabour that point.

>>We view him as Insan e Kamil or the perfect human being worthy of emulation no more and no less even if he lived 1400 years ago.<<

Kaffirs have a different perception of a perfect human. Such a perfect human would not have his critics murdered (Asma bint Marwan, Kaf bin Ashraf, etc). He would not marry and have sex with a nine year old girl (Aisha) when he was 50+. He would not torture and kill a man (Kinana bin Rabi) for money and marry his widow (Safia) on the same day (next day?). A perfect man, when a judgment is given to massacre a whole tribe's menfolk (Banu Quraiza), would not proclaim it as the judgment of God and permit the slaughter. A perfect man would not accept slaves as gifts and keep them as concubines (Maria Qutbi). Need I go on? Would you let your children emulate what this Insan e Kamil did?

Curmally these charges stick no matter how much your modern day scholars ashamed of your prophet's activities (the ones who lived closer to Mohammed's time apparently thought these acts were that of an Insan al kamil) try to burnish his image by claiming that the histories, the hadith were all fabricated. They forget that by jettisoning the sira and hadith they reduce Mohammed to another Arabian legend like the jinns of the desert.
