To Nuray, food for thought

Dear Nuray,

Whenever one argues with a muslim and tell him/her that Mohammed was a violent man who committed crimes against humanity and Quran is his brianchild which he composed from self serving ayas, popular folk lores and incorrect bible stories ( which he heard from christians mostly from his wife Khadija's christian cousin Waraqa but forgot many details), they change tactics and ask why then 1.3 billion muslims believe in Quran and Mohammed . In this debate you you also did the same.

It seems that muslims are like herd of sheep and follow one another without using their brain and justify their decision to follow the herd based on the herd size.

If you really believe in sheep mentality, Why follow the herd which is the poorest, least united (they hate and kill each other), least educated (70 % illiterate) , most corrupt, least progressive, most unfriendly and discriminating, most restrictive and unadaptive, most boring and dry (music, dancing and movies prohibited), least adapting, most narrow minded, most violent and most disliked?

If the size of the herd matters then why not join almost equally large herd of hindus who are more educated , more civilized, more progressive, more friendly,very coloful, very open minded, completely non violent and well liked by all.

Even better, join christians who number over 2 billions and are most educated, most advanced , most powerful, very openminded, and believe in non violence as taught by Jesus.

Nuray it is a food for thought.
