The Monotheism was in contradiction. The non jewish and christian Arabs followed hundreds of gods. That was a brave step for the prophet to take. Indeed he had a great deal of beleif and/or guts.
It would be interesting to make a list of what Islam demanded with what was not already required, such as circumambulating, throwing stones at the devil, venerating the black rock, stoning heretics, seperating booty at a rate of 5:1 infantry/leader.
Admittadly that would take us wildly off thread, which i instigated, and for that i put my hands up.
At the final count, muslims dont eat pork because "allah" says so. And no more explaination is required or indeed thoughts about the matter acceptable.
Regards and indeed respect. |
