The religion was a clever marketing ploy by Muhammed. The Ka'aba contains a black meteorite which the Muslims say was given by Allah and where Abraham came to worship (though that's not mentioned in the OT and that story was unheard of for over 2600 years until Muhammed). Anyway, this Ka'aba temple to the moon god Sin (aka Allah) and his daughters was a pilgramage centre to pre-Islamic South-Westerna Arabs.

And, the caretakers of the Ka'aba were, surprise, surprise, Muhammed's family, the Qurayshis. By getting so many pilgrims the Qurayshies got so much more money. And now they're considered the Holy family (according to Allah, the most perfect race are the Arabs, the most perfect among those arabs are Qurayshis and the most perfect among those are Muhammed's descendents)

Islam's two major sects Sunnis and Shia'ahs arose because the Shia'as thought that Mo's son-in-law Ali should be Caliph, but the Sunnis went with Omar Bakri. Then later sects in islam are because one group wanted a certain Fatimid or Abbasid Caliph and the others said no.

Completely political

Racism is a vital component of Islam and Islamic terror. It's why they hate the Jews so much as they believe themselves to be the Chosen people, but that is due to what they believe to be a special mission or covenant with God.

Muhammad took this idea and twisted it into a racist, conquering, intolerant ideology. And who defends Islamists with all of their might? That would be the liberals.

Interesting, I was involved in a secret project in the mid 80’s to dig a tunnel from temple in Mecca to a point outside, supposedly an escape tunnel if something bad happened. If I told, I would have to kill all.
