Sir,
So the fact that the Catholic Church did plenty of evil in their time in order to maintain their control over their political empire is of no consequence to you? They sure as heck weren't practicing WWJD during the Crusades or the Inquisition. They practiced plenty of mass murder in their time, there are plenty instances of pedophilia to discuss if you would like, Popes at one time were allowed to marry, and have more than one wife, so we can talk polygamy as well.
So which is worse, to acknowledge the teaching of a just and good man, and ignore them because they do not fit into your aspirations for political control, or your personal wants and desires. Or to follow in the footsteps of an unjust man and do as he does?
To me, knowing what is just and good, and casting it aside for your own personal selfish desires, when you have the qunitessential perfect man to follow may just be worse.
I find the premise of the author that Islam should not be considered a religion for the sole reason that it calls for the distruction of the USA to be laughable at best. Didn't Christianity, at one time, rally for the destruction of the USSR and its communist, ungodlike ways? Does the author discuss this? How are the two different?
