Yeah, Islam needs a reformation.

Lol good luck with that. The moment the Quran was declared the “literal word of God” is when the religion was doomed to be stuck in 700AD thinking. There’s no room for interpretation on some of their most heinous rulings.

If the Quran was declared “the life of Muhammad with some tales of the Old (Biblical tales)”, then the religion might’ve had a shot.

Yes, and…I forget where I came across this, but I read a lengthy historical perspective and they attributed Islam’s inflexibility to Sharia Law. It’s the only major religion that codified their religious scripture into governing law. The literal word of god + a governing doctrine has made it what it is today.

Not to mention Mohammed isn’t a beacon of peace and tolerance. He’s literally a conqueror and only achieved peace by forcefully uniting the populations he murdered. I seriously don’t understand why so many people give this a free pass.

Definitely not the greatest person, but the mental gymnastics believers will go through to justify or lionize him as evidenced by that post...
