any time you base your entire system on what one man who lived 1400 years ago , who claims to have spoken to an angel said , you are going to have problems . does it really matter what the correct interpretation in the koran is ? the fact is he was just one man and there is no way one man has all the answers . time moves on . if people just follow a book that was written 1400 years ago then they are going to get stuck in the past . no matter how clever or stupid the man or men that wrote the book were . the democratic system with a separation of church and state is not a perfect system, but is is a lot better than a theocracy . if fact there has never been a true theocracy . just people with a giant ego who claim to communicate with a higher power . god, if there is a god, does not need any help from people .
