[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Muhammad is Islam's prophet, delivering what in their belief is the final and perfected message of God. That is why his actions still have relevance.[/quote]

His actions only have relevance to those who want them to be relevant. To most Muslims, the Battle of the Trench -- if they even know what it is -- is a historical event. It is not something to be emulated today. It has more relevance to those who want to tarnish Islam than it has to the average Muslim.

No. His actions are relevant to those who choose them to believe them relevant. That includes any Muslim who is not one in name only. The only relevant comparisons to Muhammad for Muslims would be Jesus for Christians or Moses for Jews or Buddha for Buddhists. Find me an actual Muslim scholar with any significant following that believes the actions and words of the Prophet have no relevance.

Your argument is laughable.[/quote]

Your first sentence is practically the same as mine. So, if one is laughable, they both are. I don't care about Muslim scholars, but rather Muslims, the vast majority of whom are not scholars. Just as Christians choose specific verses to emphasize, while ignoring others, so do Muslims. Virtually none of them emphasize or even care about a battle that was well over a thousand years ago.
