Thank you.
I meant I quit my responsibilities for this site, it's now all up to Forkbender and Dr.Leospace. They somehow find GOD's behavior tolerable.
I will continue to post, in this thread too, for as I mentioned, I just started reading an interesting book on Islam by
Nasr Abu Zayd.
"Zayd suffered major religious persecution for his views on the Qur'an as a religious, mythical, literary work. In 1995, he was promoted to the rank of full professor, but Islamic controversies about his academic work led to a court decision of apostasy and the denial of the appointment. A hisbah trial started against him by fundamentalist Islamic scholars, he was declared a heretic (Murtadd) by an Egyptian court, was consequently declared divorced from his wife, Cairo University French Literature professor Dr. Ibthal Younis (since, according to Sharia law, it is not permissible for her to be married to a non-Muslim) and, in effect, forced out of his homeland."
An hour ago I went upstairs to watch some television (have a break from the discussion...) and guess what just started? A program about a man travelling through Libya and Egypt, talking with imams, Quran students (children and teenagers), sultans, scholars, common people, women, a leader of the
Coptic Church, and even the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood talking about his ideas for instituting the Sharia and his contradictory statement that Islam is a religion of freedom.
