So, you wish to convey that is merely old wine packed in a new bottle?Nonsense - the commonalities are due to the common root origin of both religions, nothing more
No, I wish to convey that a bit of the Koran has the same set of lineage and hence same characters and historical references. The bulk of the Koran is a Mohammedan religious doctrine. The Koran openly acknowledges Abraham (Ibrahim), Jesus, David, Ismael etc as prophets/characters of religious significance. That does not mean the Koran is a translation of the Old Testament. Thats non-sense. Please don't try to mince words. I wished to convey what I wrote and there is nothing ambiguous about it.So, you wish to convey that is merely old wine packed in a new bottle?
Well I agree with you and that is true for all religion.Galaxy, there are no different versions of The Quran, only different interpretation. Interpretation causes problems when an idiot tried to interpret it. That's when you have people like Mobammed Wahab and his ilk.
OT90% people were following some religion, There was hardly any country left for another new religion, So Islam spread with the help of Invasion and based on concept of expansionism. Like Persian, Kurdistan, India, Turkey, Indonesia, Africa, etc.
That's your interpretation and thinking. Sharia is actually very flexible. The modern day "custodians" of Islam have made it inflexible.Well I agree with you and that is true for all religion.
But you will surely agree with me that Islam is not flexible language. There are set of rules which everyone should follow.
The answer to that is not in the scope of this forum.Sharia cannot be flexible since Ijtihad was discontinued from the 10th Century since it was felt that none has the knowledge to interpret the nuances of the Quaran and the Hadith.
Sharia is inviolate.
You raised an issue that Sharia is flexible.The answer to that is not in the scope of this forum.
