In islam peace can only come through total sharia law

yep , think that my beginner article mentions the female infanticide and I didn't know that . Same with the 'kabba' predating 'islam' , after islam it looks to me that all idols or rocks / stones were replaced with one stone / rock / idol . I think that there is one stone in the 'kabba' now whereas before islam there were many stones / rocks .

The Kabba is a stone structure that was built on the place where Abraham and his son had erected a small alter dedicated to God thousands of years ago.

Over many centuries the monotheism that Abraham had taught the people was forgotten and the people had fell into the worship of idols.

They had filled the Kabba with hundreds of idols and lost the knowledge of the "One True God".

The first thing that Muhammad did when he conquered Mecca was to go to the Kabba and destroy all of the idols.


A misnomer by many non-muslims is that Muslims worship the large black stone which sits in the corner of the Kabba structure. It is just a rock which was touched by Muhammad and is not an idol nor does it hold any mystical or special powers. ......

It's like claiming Christians worship a couple of wooden sticks in the form of a cross or Jews worship the Torah.

there you go , more knowledge , thanks Rosie !!

Irosie is full of BS and an ignorant hater. She rarely knows what she is talking about when it comes to Islam and muslims.

The beads that some muslims use are NOT worry beads. That would be against Islamic teaching.

There are 99 beads and are used to keep track when reciting the 99 Names of Allah.

(smaller ones have 33 beads and the person counts around the circuit 3 times)

Muslims get a special blessing every time they silently recite the 99 beautiful names; which describe the attributes of God. ....

Catholic priests and nuns wear and carry rosaries and count the beads to keep track of their prayers and stations. ......

yes they are-----stone worshippers carried stones as objects of veneration. Some people way out east carry
a piece of jade -----as a kind comforting thing to caress.
It is easy to see why stones became a tool of calculation
over millennia

Religion is truly the "opiate of the masses".....Marx wasn't ALWAYS wrong..!

Religion is truly the "opiate of the masses".....Marx wasn't ALWAYS wrong..!

One of the world's most misquoted and least understood quotes. .....

What Marx actually said: 'Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.'

The bastardized quote makes more sense when it’s placed in context with Marx’s poetic words.
