Bill Warner, who sometimes is interviewed over at frontpagemag.com, has often elaborated on the dualism of the Qur’an and of its deity, “Allah.” But overall, when I read the Qur’an I found it full of violence and feelings that were not divine at all. Muhammad made it all up. I thought so at the time I read it. And then recently I read Ali Sina’s book, “Understanding Muhammad: A Psychobiography” and it all fell into place.

Just because a cult describes itself as radical monotheism, and claims to be the fulfillment of Judaism and Christianity (while distorting them and having erroneous understanding of them) does not mean it is related at all. The people in religious studies programs of major universities in Europe and the United States have incorrectly called it an “Abrahamic faith.” Just because Muhammad claimed to have Abraham as a father does not make it so. And by the logic of these cretins, anyone can go out and cut and paste aspects of Judaism and Christianity and meld it into one’s narcissistic aspirations… and call it a prophetic tradition and an “Abrahamic faith” ?????
