[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And why call a scholar anyway if things  ought to be obvious, and sometimes actually are obvious, if unpalatable?[/quote]

Did someone here tell you to call a scholar for obvious points? A 48 page thread shows there may be some points that are not so obvious. Besides, scholars studied Islamic history and its more than just a college class,[/quote]
Actually, the 48-page thread was about you and another Muslim poster committing mental acrobatics to try and prove, against all sense, that the obvious and simple Quranic verses on slavery, polygamy etc. - can somehow be interpreted to mean roses and chocolates, and those who don't believe it, should just call the scholar already.   Because a pair of eyes just won't do.[/quote]

Islam is actually an amazing religion. I love the fact that I can believe in all prophets Adam through Moses and then Jesus and finally Muhammad. I love the concept of oneness in God. I love that I can have a deeply personal relationship with God in five daily prayers, each of them taking just five minutes. I love that it requires I pay charity. Polygamy is not encouraged but it was practiced and Islam permits it. Same is true for slavery but both in the strictest of situations and not to abuse power. If you read Islamic history, studied tafsir, and spoke to scholars, they would show you proof of Islam's mercy. But if you don't care to learn, then its fine too. To each his own, right? [/quote]
