++++In Islam, there is no way to excommunicate a deviant, every uneducated egomaniac can call himself a "mulah" (like Omar) and issue fatwas

The question should be "Why" every uneducated egomaniac can call himself a "mulah" (like Omar) and issue fatwas! The question should be "Why" millions of followers come to think of uneducated egomaniac evil as their religious leaders? Khomeini is viewed something like the Pope (in fact higher than the Pope for which he has been given the title Imam and has been placed at the same level as Iman Ali, Imam Hossein, Imam Reza, etc.). Do you honestly believe the Pope and Khomeini have anything in common?!

It is not the lack of hierarchy, it is more a matter of teachings as promoted by the religion. Christinaity has been sanitized, Islam has a long way to go (in my view) to be considered a humanistic faith for all ages.
