For Salman and idols in Islam!

My dear Salman there is a womderful Yiddish word that fits you so well and it is called Chutzpah. You look this word up.

You stated that you had no clue about what is really Sirat Rasul Allah by Ibn Hisham and Waqidi's al-Maghazi and I'm afraid to tell you that these are the sources about kissing the stone! And you know what? Muslims do it.

So would you agree with me that:

1. By you having no clue about such basic Islamic books as: Sirat Rasul Allah and Waqidi's al-Maghazi that your claim that kissing the black stone of al-ka3bba is just ignorance on your part?

2. So the Qur'an is silent about the kissing thing, but the Qur'an is also silent about many things that are very much Islamic including male circumcision and of I forgot ayat al-rajm! So the silence of the Qur'an here is a non Issue.

3. A copy of the Qur'an is an idiol period.

And you know what? you are the victim of the poor theology of Islam.

Like I say you ani't no Arab!
