My dear michel "Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem" (my Latin is a bit rusty and I stand corrected if I made any mistakes). This is what Occam's razor is all about. It is not about smoke and fire! It is about going back to the basics, and to never multiply entities.

Now I'm going to be blunt,: you know nothing about Islam. This means that you must do lots of reading about islam before you can provide an informed opinion. Remember Occam's razor?

What does the Aristotelain problem have to do with Occam and his sharp razor? Well Muhammad the warlord and caravan raider whose command of Aristotelian logic was very limited was asked by the jews of mecaa or so we are told in his biography (see page 571-571)

The Jews of mecca to Muhammad: "If Allah is responsible for this Creation then who really created Allah?"

And your answer is? If you wish i will provide you with abul Qasim's (Muhammad) answer but do not except much.

You need to do lots of reading! And remember William of Occam!
