Lo. You are correct. No religion is immune to
being twisted and exploited, and Islam is no exception.
Such is the fallen state of mankind.

Yet the Qu'ran itself is a different matter, especially
in the Arabic. For consistency and veracity it is
of a different level than the biblical texts (chosen
amongst many, by Church Fathers, for political reasons,
the oppression of women being high on the list). It's
comments on Jesus are particularly interesting and
to the point.

It would have been interesting to know the historical
Jesus, and his opinion about modern Christians.

I've never before heard my personal spiritual sensibility articulated so well...I agree with you.

"I believe in the spiritual, I will not, however, even try to define it. All religion becomes corrupt once man defines it to suit his own purposes. None of us know the REAL TRUTH, it is all just
speculation."


Beautiful.

Why is man compelled to define the undefinable...?
