[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it interesting that PP is insisting that knowing the correct practice of Islam is very abstruse and requires years of study or, for those unable to do that, guidance from someone who is.[/quote]

When you have a question that isn't obvious on its face, then yes, guidance from someone more educated in the subject than you is needed. [b]The Quran has a ton of vagueness, contradiction and outright error; it's not unfathomable that more explanation is needed to those who need it.[/b]

[quote=Anonymous]This is so contrary to the roots of Islam.  Muhammad was ILLITERATE.  Why would he found a religion that was so dependent on literacy to be practiced correctly?  Isn't he himself the primary example of the correct practice of Islam without benefit of study?[/quote]

There are all kinds of reasons people found religions - the thirst for power and social advancement is principally in the lead. Since he broadcast the thing, he hardly needed to study it. Incidentally, he was permitted things other Muslims weren't, so he couldn't be an example in all things.

[quote=Anonymous]Furthermore, he specifically brought monotheism to the tribes of Arabia, the vast majority of which were outside settlements and nomadic.  They were thus illiterate and had no special imams or teachers among them to instruct them in the way PP is insisting is necessary for centuries and centuries.[/quote]

Yet there is a ton of evidence in the hadith that starts with "So-and-so asked so-and-so what to do in situation X".  So apparently they did have questions that they brought to those they thought knew better - their special imams and teachers. [/quote]

See in Protestant Christianity we're allowed to interpret for ourselves what unclear passages of the Bible mean.[/quote]
