Stax, not only is the religion of Islam a man-made belief system, it is violent and the men that direct the adherents have a desure to control and subjugate, as their means to power. Forced adherents to a religious belief, especially one that claims to go back to Adam for its source ought to know humankind fell from grace willfully, thus God allowed free will to operate; such a kind must come to accept God's rule by choice, never by force. It is just one of the deep inconsistencies in Islamic belief. [I won't go into the 'prophets' named by Mohammed as real prophets to Judaic history that Muhammed named as good men, who were in fact fabricated gods named in the Egyptian pantheon rather than actual persons descended from Abraham or Ishmael. If interested, look up the name Idris (Osiris in Egypt), and cross reference it to the Islamic beliefs as dictated by Muhammed. That's a start.]

Before getting too self-righteous about this, examine some of the Christian beliefs and practices imported from pagan religions. The list is quite long. Many Christians believe, of course, that these practices have been purified and sanctified by their adoption into Christianity. Muslims could justifiably claim the same.
