The problem is that there are all these pesky rules that have now been dropped from Christianity. For example, the early Christians followed Mosaic law, including circumcision and dietary rules forbidding pork, shellfish, etc. Well, Muslims adhere strictly to those rules. The point here is that Islam is basically a Christian heresy (in the same way that Christianity is essentially a Jewish heresy)*, but a really warped heresy that believes people who go to war for Islam are rewarded with 72 virgins in paradise, rejects the traditional Jewish and Christian insistence on monogamy and retains a lot of other customs of Arab desert raiders. |
