What are you saying? That the great Muhamid molested youngin's?? Or killed a fellow human being? Let me guess, he married a bunch of virgins, and that is where the Islamofacists got their kink for suicide bombing followed by myrterdom and 72 virgins and all that. This might explain how that particular freaky "myth" came to be. As for the murderous part, I take it that you believe their prophet didn't "turn the other cheek". In fact, I'd be curous what Islam has to say about forgiveness.

Well, Islam says (via the Qur'an) alot of things. It says women are to be revered and given equality, but they are not. It says that Christians and Jews are "people of the book", and as such, should never be harmed, and in fact, Muslims are commanded to protect Christians and Jews, but theres not alot of that happening either. As to Mohammed's taking liberties with 9 to 13 year old girls, scholars tend to agree there is little doubt. So much for mythology! And yes, the prophet was a warrior who frequently raided his neighbors.

Relying on interpreters puts us at risk of not getting the right story.

Why do Muslims feel that there is a need for Clerics, Holy Men, etc? Is it a matter of interpretation of their gospel?

Why do Catholics need a Pope? Same reason? Christians - Ministers? Jews - Rabbi?

It seems that all ar at least most religions require interpretation for the masses to understand. If religion is so hard for people to understand, then maybe we don't really need religions.
