@jundullahi - Do you think the qu'ran is an accurate book for scientific knowledge, political systems, contract law, crime and punishment etc? I have to ask to understand your perspective of your faith as Islam is on par with Christianity for the complete disparity between the various levels of interpretation. I have no prejudice against any people (hence the above was jokingly yes, you can't get too serious in these debates or nobody will take you seriously), but I think it is more an issue that people compared Islam to other religions such as Christianity or Judaism, but they are very different as Christianity is just a faith, Islam is much more detailed through the Qu'ran and the Hadith on it's political agendas and specific aims and it is not full of vague analogies like the bible.
