I agree with some of the writers that it's high time we Muslims sit down and begin a serious study and revision of the Koran and Hadith and go to it's roots and find out through logic reasoning and archealogical and historical evidence and proof of what actually had been said and done and was it correct if we apply our rational mind is the greatest gift given by God and Allah to humankind

Do we have the courage to use it, can we be rational and logical and answer the diffcult questions the basic questions even a small child can ask ?

Let's accept the fact that the reason for the harshness and intolerance in Koran was due to the Arabs of the time were superstitious, bigot, fanatical, ambitious, ruthless, barbarian, stubborn, chauvinist and above all gullible and a credulous gang and many continue to be so ,is thier religion that's being imposed upon all others.

The prophets were great. we accept they had divine inspiration to lead the people during their times and they met the purpose excellently some by dubious means, but does it apply to all times and all countries, but they were human after all,sometimes inhuman as well.

so let's begin this journey it's the most holy of all

Light, wisdom, truth ,harmony and love. let's discover these remove the mud and bring out the gems.
