"Try to understand what I'm seeing in here. One person likened the
actions of Muhammad to Milosevic and you are accusing Muhammad of
genocide and comparing what was done to Banu Qurayzah (unfavorably)
with the Holocaust."
We are going around in circles Gilberto. The cycle runs something like this.
You challenge the validity of the Bible on the basis of your own
preconcieved ethics and morality which are supposedly timeless in nature. We
respond by pointing out that by the usual modern standards of ethics and
morality there are similiar problems with Muhammad's actions. Then you
accuse us of denigrating your own prophet and book. Who started the
discussion in that direction to begin with? The point was never that
Muhammad was like Milosevc. It was that that you cannot take the same
principles of morality of ehtics that are used to judge people like Milsevc
and project them back on a past age. Therefore it is invalid to judge the
validity of *any* ancient scripture by projecting your current morality back
onto it, unless the question involves its continuing applicability rather
than its historical one.
In any case, let's just drop the thread. We are going nowhere.
