#1 The bottom source line should be considered. Would anyone in their right mind believe for the briefest of seconds that the God of Abraham would take Moohamhead (piece of pork be upon him) as a prophet?

A child rapist, mass murderer, sex slaver, common caravan thief and moon god worshiper who finance his hordes with stolen good taken from the local Jews, Christians and even pagans who refused force conversion or death?

Hence the moniker "the pedophile for profit" accurately describes Shelkh's Mohammad. Studying past writings of his Islam is a moot point designed to justify its fraudulent existence.

#2 If the ulema and the ummah move in this direction, that would be lovely. But as Sheikh Mohammed Akram said, most people don't read the Koran...and very few of those that do will allow themselves understand it the way he does.

Or ...taqqiyah.

#3 Ideology serves people, not vice versa. Now imagine people who lost the ability for empathy, and can only cooperate with relatives. Now, I wonder, if they invent a religion - what it be like?

#4 The key word mentioned above is "lazy". As long as you are willing to get down on a rug and bang your head against the floor three times a day, you feel that effort which no other religion does is sufficient. The Imam handles the various Muslim doctrine interpretations for you each Friday afternoon at the local Mosque. And they are good at preaching passion for banging your head on the floor and leaving the rest of the brain washing up to them.

#5 I believe I found the perfect quotation
"I have never understood the gangster mind -- I simply know what to do about gangsters." LL

#6 The damage and destructiveness visited upon the world in the name of this religion is great and growing and those who do know the true meaning of the Quran (if there is such a thing) are not speaking out. How can one believe anything to be true about a religion that embraces and sanctions lying to infidels by its promoters?

#7 The sheikh is being intellectually dishonest.

There are many, many violence inducting parts of the Koran and then about an order of magnitude more of them in the hadith.

The sheikh mentions the medieval philosopher (or you could call him an anti-philosopher) Ghazali. At the time Ghazali was alive, there was a philosophic movement to try to harmonize the Quran and Aristotle (sort of like Thomas Aquinas and interpreting the violent phrases more humanly. Ghazali wrote a book saying they were distorting the Koran and that was then end of that.

#8 The sheikh is being intellectually dishonest.

That's a tautology. Look up Ilm al-Kalam.
