#2 well, we can be pretty sure it wasn't an "honor" killing that the Taliban did him in for.

#3 It's a system that's been evolving since Gilgamesh was a young fellow.

Hammurabi part of that evolution? Wouldn't Mo be a better starting point?

#4 Hammurabi part of that evolution? Wouldn't Mo be a better starting point?

A lot of what Mo did was to enshrine local Arab prejudices into his "holey book", along with whatever he could steal from others. That included the Jews, the Christians, athiests, Diests, Zoroastrianism, and idol worshipers from a dozen other places. Most of the kinds of behavior that Mo endorsed was going on around him at the time, but frowned upon by various parts of local culture. Mo codified it into a religion, so he could do what he wanted to do anyway, and get away with it.

There is a direct connect between Judiasm and Christianity, and the God of one can easily be seen to be the God of the other. There is no such connection between the God Jhwh and Islam's Allah. One is a righteous, just God, the other is something else.
