"I don't know if you've noticed but what women say they want doesn't always match what we find them doing. " If you change the word "women" to people, I'd agree with you, and, as an added bonus, you wouldn't look like a blatant sexist. Will your next line be "She said 'No".... that's how come I knew she wanted to have sex with me"? I can't wait.

Wonderful prose and poetry , and I understand the essential message of "Laa Elaaha lllallaah" and in one sense would whole heartedly agree ...but on the other hand you have still given God a name , and a book and a prophet ....and i fully understand you don't worship the prophet. Islam is very appealing , and wonderfully direct in it's mysticism and daily practice. The prose and poetry are wonderful ...well some parts of it. And if one is going to be religious , then one should go directly to the source . Islam is extremly powerful in this one idea . But I am not as concerned as are the wise of Islam that there are discrepencies in the God-hood claims of Judaism or Christianity. I can see for Mohammed it was chief among his efforts to surpass both of those predecessors in his inciteful "channeling" the will of Allah And well-------> he should have been , for he was relatively a modern man , compared to Jesus or Moses , and had the advantage of many centuries of the developement of theological thought and evolution and all the studies of the Greek and Persian Philosophies at his disposal to study. He developed a very tolerant stance right from the start , or tried too. It was very cosmopolitan and universal as a more modern Religion should be . The Koran is a complex mosaic of inspired prose, of a deep and mystical kind , and one well worth study. As far as I am concerned , Islam is/was a refreshing change from Christianity , and I can easily see where Allah would choose to reveal his word at that particular time . Christianity certainly was no charmer around that period. As for the theology itself , to me Islam is basic Hinduism 101 and always will be . Hindus must have been touched by Islam , but they had Sages so much before Mohammed that divined the God behind Creation. Hinduism does not worship creation either , but what is behind it and within it. Islam starts with this as it's first principal, and it is considered the greatest sin. But Mohammed was 4000yrs to late . And the Hindu has even a shorter word for God ----> AUM I understand Islam's claims , and also the Christian but they all like to argue and debate each other anyways so I just watch and learn . Allahs first law for me was --->Ahimsa . Non-harming or non-interference . Nothing, not even Mohammed's vision & Arabian prose will change my views on that . It just come from my own experience of Allah .... ;-)

I found this funny... "Mohammed's mother knew herself to be curious about me. She questioned me about the woman of the tribe of Christians and their way of life, marvelling at my white skin, and the horrible blue eyes which looked, she said, like the sky shining through the eye-sockets of an empty skull." It is only recently that women became a separate species from man, even the men they are mother to. The discovery of mitochondrial DNA proved women were separate and special from their male counter-parts.
