You know what, it is. Also, Mohammad was a misogynist pedophile warlord. Ideas from medieval ages have no place in the 21st century.

Interesting that his only other comment on that profile was also a reply to a comment of mine.

I'm pretty sure we still find plenty of use in the ideas much older than that... Do we not still teach the ideas of Pythagoras et al?

I'm pretty sure what you're trying to say is religion has no place in the 21st century.

Also fun fact, the early days of Islam saw huge steps forward for women's rights, more so than pretty much any other culture at the time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_feminism#Early_reforms_...). I'm curious why you Mohammed was a misogynist and what that has to do with Islam?

What a hateful comment. How can one judge a man who lived in the 7th century by today's standards?! Objectively speaking, a warlord he might have been but a misogynist and a pedophile surely he wasn't.

Because he is the perfect example to follow for all humans according to Muslims?

He definitely was a misogynist and a pedophile according to Islamic texts. Would you like some links?

Please stop.

So was every single religious figure..

I await your similar frenzied expose of Richard the Lionheart with bated breath....
