ok, the only islamic "sources" that a muslim uses are the qur'an and authentic (read: authentic) ahadith (i.e. teachings of the prophet muhammed). any other "sources" are pulled out of extremists' asses, or people who couldn't find anything in the qur'an that makes it violent so they resort to makin... |
