islam was founded on the basis of being the only true religion. mohammeds life , if and when studied impartially on a non religious and spiritual basis with an added psychological ;point of view ,one would realise the genesis of religion based on the concept of convenient revelations of a man who was lost by the age of 40

pointing non spiritual examples-

1. i am the last prophet, so says allah..so says who- yes its me mohammed(convenient revelation). by declaring him being the last prophet, he made sure that his legacy as a prphet would last forever, intelligent yet a non spiritual move ., for according to me all the great prophets including jesus, buddha and peace loving preachers never imposed .

1. i (mohammed) can marry my own daughter in law, after transgressing her ,i also can marry as many- so says who- allah revelaed it to me...so convenient
2. al buraq, mythical flying donkey takes me to jerusalem/mecca( nobody is still clear )in my dream one night.....yes, jerusalem was the centre of jew and christian tradition ..i need to associate with it and i also need to impose myself there as soon as possible.
3. virgins in heaven, in islamic spirtual abode ..one finds material pleasure.....lack of green in arab land meant that heaven was always green,

basically , islam is a religion based on mohammeds preachings of being not self accountable yet mercilessly pointing finger at others(jews and christians) for thier misery . theres no sense of introspective human values in islam , (reasoning of mohammeds words and actions)and the only way they know is might is right ,i.e my way or highway...very much like mohammed. they are trying to impose mohammed onto the world.

human race has travelled a long path to get here in civilizational growth , regression is what these people would take us back into literally stone age. no matter how many issues we face , for instance homosexuality as a part of civilizational decline or other such issues, we still have managed rapid strides in human endaveour of equality, human rights etc. we simply cannot give it away to these cultural non negotiable unidirectional imposing self righteous people. freedom should be safeguarded if human race has to progress.

if allah is god, so be it . i agree . but if allah is the only god as the muslims insist, then there is a conflict as god does not belong to any one prophet. god is a belief best practiced in the way one chooses to believe much like muslims believe in allah.......imposition of your god and his( mohammeds) laws into the modern world is draconian. modern western world is created out of trial and error of human values. for instance,at one point in time slavery was a part of it . the mistakes have been realised and healing process is on. this is how modern reasoning world evolves . it is not ristrictive or confined to one paradigm for good. at present, we are grappling with issue of homsexuality and secularism, globalisation and so ...yet i am confident we will evolve for being better

modern society is inhospitable to the concept of one god or one belief , one god as a concept itself is so narrow and limitative ,it terminates the concept of freedom , and freedom as a concept is the food on which modern open society thrives on.
