That Muhammad?
Why do you keep trying to pass off that Muhammad as a beacon of human rights?
Very telling that.

(147,334 posts)It is simply uncomfortable for you, which is not the same thing at all.
I will reply to posts as I choose.

(36,899 posts)It does seem rather odd as to why someone would wonder what a polygamist, a wife beater, and child rapist would do in regards to human rights, but here we are. I suppose some look for inspiration in strange places.

(147,334 posts)Or some Muslim blogger on Patheos. I don't know, someone authoritative and superbly qualified to speak about Islam. They abound on blogs, apparently.

trotsky
(49,533 posts)But he did some pretty bad stuff, so I'm not going to automatically assume he is any kind of moral authority.
He started a religion that has, like all of them, had a few ups but a lot of downs.
Maybe if we all started asking "What would everyone else like me to do?" instead of trying to imagine what some person who lived centuries ago wanted, we might start behaving better.

Why should we care what Mohammed would do?
MineralMan
(147,334 posts)I don't know. He's been dead a long time, though, so there's that.
