What happened to your cool head Mohammed?

Reader comment on item: Destroying Sculptures of Muhammad
in response to reader comment: COMMENTS ON HOLY QURAN & PROPHET OF ISLAM BY PLATO.

Submitted by Proud Indian (India), Aug 11, 2008 at 08:11

Hello once again Mr Mo.. i hope you have read my post as well. i have read your response to plato. I was eagely anticipating your explanations on Plato's verses which he had specified.

Instead what i read was simply rantings of a man who was without reason or fact. Dont worry Mr Mo.. it happens to all the islamists who write here.. You wrote that Plato has written about the prophet in the most indignified manner and has maligned islam.. but you have still not given any explaination of what is indignified and so malicious. If it is mentioned in the quran that the prophet married a 6 year old child then either you say that it was a wrong act or you say the quran is wrong or you say we are wrong ( that is not possible because many of your own scholars admit to ayesha's age bieng 6 at the time of marraige).. what is it??

if you say both are correct then you ask yourself whether it is correct for a 50+ year old man to marry a 6 year old girl & consumate his marraige when she was 9.. When the quran justifies murders of Mohammed's critics by him. (Bin Ashraf, Asma Marwan,) you either say that it was wrong or the quran was wrong or you say the only punishment of criticism is death .. which one is it??

this is the attitude the followers of islam have today and that is why a mere query into mohammad's life or koran's authencity leads to headhunters searching for the infidel's head.. Your appeal to dr pipes for banning Plato by quoting the UNO's Human Rights Charter smacks of hypocrisy. I have never seen you or your fellow "secular" muslims call to ban mansoor and others who only parrot one line in this forum THAT ISLAM IS HERE TO RULE AND IS THE ONLY SUPREME RELIGION? I once again urge you to come forth with proper explanations and supported facts so that we may have an insight on the " peacful, progressive & secular " islam.

Regards, Proud Indian
