[MD] Muslim Mechanisms

[khaledsa]

 Islam view of both the old and new testament is that they have been
adulterated. So that leaves lots of room for interpretation. The Koran
was the Final message form God and whatever is there settles it. Just
like Christianity was Judaism 2.0, Islam makes 3.0.

The flip side, the Koran came down by Fax, hence it is The Word of God
and NOT the prophet, allowing for very little or no wiggle room at all.
Untranslated, and still in its original form for 1400 years, the Koran
sets some pretty good universal laws that can transcend space and time.
Dietary laws, tithing, inheritance and so on. Shariaa law, leaves some
room for interpretation. The other thing is that a community is allowed
to make its own rules. Meaning, if you are a Muslim community that live
in an area where the summer sun rises at 2:00 am and sets at 11:00 pm.
making hard to fast during the month of Ramadan, the community has the
power to say that we are going to break fast at 7:00 and that settles it.
That's why there was never a central church in Islam, because each
community had to tend to its geopolitical needs.
