How do mormons call themselves Christians? LIke the taliban, there is so much they attribute to the religon that is just made up. Like half the stuff they do isn't even in the religous texts, or is in texts they flat made up.
They focus on one archaic writing that wasn't even originally in th Quoran, about war. Mohammed was actually a very wise man, and said that violence is largely unesseccary except when all else fails. The funamentalists abuse his teachings, and focus on exactly what he says not to.
Mohammed never said anything about abstaining from alcohol, keeping women away from public, covering them, beating them, even separation during prayer. He just said too much of anything distracting from living a good life is bad, and to clear your head of outside distractions while praying to god.
And somehow the taliban use this as a rationalization to kill and supress.
Beleive it or not, most muslums see through the facade, and know that many of the problems they are facing, both socialy and politically, are because of the hypocracy of their leaders, and small groups that abuse the religon for their own benifit.
