Some of my muslim friends visiting here from the Middle East (classmates of mine) say that many of the stuff quoted only meant something in Muhammed's time, and should be seen in that context. In other words, things have moved on, and they recognise they are not living in the 6th century. |
There's also the issue of abrogation of verses in the Qur'an. Those unfamiliar with Islam would not be aware of that idea. It's the idea that a later-revealed verse can nullify an earlier-revealed verse.
Yet another issue is fatwas: who can and cannot issue them. BJWD evidently sees Islam as a monolithic Borg-like entity. It's not and the various schools of Sharia (jurisprudence) reflect that. |
