For you see, there is no epistemological difference between you and the fundamentalists you decry, because the irrational "leap of faith" is assumed. On what basis (in God's name) can you refute the actions of the fundamentalists, or, more importantly, their basis. It is all interpretations of words put on paper by men who attempted to interpret the will of God by observing the interpretations of an alleged "prophet" who may or may-not have lived centuries ago. On this you are willing to base your ethical actions? The fundamentalists have the same right to interpret things their preferred way as you do! Your arguments against them are built on the same foundation of sand as theirs.

first, his, the prophet's, body has been kept, it is in one of the domes in a Mosque in Saudi Arabia.

second, Gahndi once said that "The Prophet fought with his words, rather than his hands". Islam was built off of peace, and the only time war was needed was in self-defense.

I would go more in depth, but I have to study for AP exams...I'll post back when I have the time...

and im sorry for my rant, it's just that some people REALLY piss me off....and i need someone that'll listen....god damn...I want a girlfriend
