And I still don't understand their frame of minds, and never will.
In a strange way I understand the roots of Muslim back when barbarians traveled the known world taking slaves and woman, girls and young boys for the sex slave trade. Interesting times when Christianity began to gain a foot hold and had to fight those that insisted they worship their Prophet..
Lot's of problems for the Christins back then, it had been 600 years since the Bible as we know was written and here comes a new Faith that not only went into the old Testament but also took from the New Testament and somehow mangled it into a faith of their New Prophet to explain or excuse the wars they waged and the conquest of others. Hate for the Jews when they revere Abraham, hate for the Christians when they accept Jesus as a valid Prophet.
The Muslim faith has changed from that time, now Allah is on the back burner as Mohammad his prophet is now the reason to go nuts in his name. Interesting that just a cartoon of Mohammad will cause riots in the streets.
Interesting faith of the past that has never grown from its roots, never intergrated into areas where the protection they used was no longer needed. People trapped into a life style of constent war and back almost 2,000 ago.
We can take Christianity and move it about as times change to have a meaning in today's world. The words of Jesus are for all time, valid when he walked the earth and valid today with science and technology growing month to month.
The Prophet Mohammad was for just one small time in one small area and cannot be brought into today's world. America will be the undoing of these of their faith, the next generation will rebel as we see today, and it is driving the Elders crazy.
Have to wonder about a faith that is centered on Sex for the males on earth or in heaven.
