    Why were the teachings of such a great man interpreted to result in the oppression of women?

    Why are the teachings of such a great man interpreted by extremists to mean death to those who do not follow him?

    Why have the teachings of such a great man been interpreted to mean that suicide bombers believe that they are going to heaven to consort with a multitude of virgins?

    Why have the teachings of such a great man led to so much baying for blood?

    Why have the teachings of such a gerat man been adulterated by those seeking personal power, glory and martydom?

    His teachings it seems have been appropriated by the bad guys to justify any act of atrocity....I feel saddened for those who follow the teachings of this great man with dignity and faith.. whilst their extremist bretheren grow in numbers and we all live in fear...that great man must be turning in his grave.
    Very well spoken.

    Agreed.

    Excellent summation, Sara.

    It would seem, given the delay, that the answers to Sara&#39;s questions, are going to particularly profound.





    I&#39;m off to see if they have any anti-sarcasm pills at the chemists.

    Was certainly my understandng of ilw&#39;s response.

    Although your views would, nevertheless, be interesting to an old cynic like me.

    I suspect Peace&#39;s piece was lifted straight from a "use this to proslytise" and he/she may struggle to answer your questions.

    As I believe I said in another thread on religion, the sales pitch is the same it is just the religions that vary.
