The Soul of Islam a Thread of Misconception.

Z:"Some parts of muslim society believe that donating to terrorist or rebellious movements is also a form of zakat."

L:No parts of muslim society donate to 'terrorism' as it's shown in the media. They may donate their money to causes such as the libyan rebels (i.e. overall good cause) but no one donates to get other people harmed. Please remove this statement from your post.

Z: "Some of these pilgrimages have become food for legend and myth. Many African kings would often travel in vast entourages, filled with goods, gold, and even animals that the people of the region had rarely seen.

More practically, these pilgrimages were sometimes used as political tricks, forcing rivals to set out for a journey that could last them years. Other times, they were employed as ways to advance a political career, somewhat akin to how a Roman general would return to Rome in a triumph, so too did muslim politicians sometimes prove their worth in the way they undertook the pilgrimage to Mecca."

L: Both these statements have no proof and are absolutely useless your not explaining what Hajj is at all, your just throwing some bullshit in for no reason. Please remove them.

Z:"The Jewish tribe in the city of Medina had contemplated revolting, believing Muhammed's position to be one doomed for failure. Upon being succesful, Muhammed returned to deal with the Jews. He himself wanted to exile them, but his advisors urged him to strip them of their possession and exile them, which they ended up doing."

L:Where is the proof for this? The prophet never exiled anyone from there rightful lands nevertheless strip them of their possesions.

L:Your entire" History of Islam - Birth of an empire" section is wrong. Ali the prophet's nephew never opposed Abu Bakr.

Z:"Muhammed, in his own time, was often criticized for his love of food and spoils of war."

L:This is one of the most corrupt statements i have ever heard. The prophet never had more that 3 dates in his home as he always gave away everything he had. There was once an instance where the companions of the prophet tied single stones around their waist to trick their body into feeling full and when they saw the prophet they saw he had 3 stones around his waist. The prophet never kept anything for himself he always lived like that.

Z:"It is often said that Islam, for its time, was a great improvement for the lives of women, is actually true. At the time, having a girl was considered an insult to one's manhood, often used as objects to trade for favors or deals. Under Islam, women were recognized as humans, though still not quite equal to men."
L: You are greatly misinformed if you actually read the Quran would you realize the equality between Men and Women. The prophet said in his final sermon "No person (i.e. males and females) have superiority over another except by piety and good action"

Z:"* When the first quran was written, it was noticed that the Arabic language at the time wasn't always perfectly clear, giving rise to different ways of reading certain passages. It was declared that there were, at least, eight different readings that were equally valid."

L:Different Dilects not readings they all mean the same just sound different.

Z:" Whilst the headscarf is considered cannon, the face veil is actually never mentioned in the quran. The division on the subject comes from muslims that differ on whether to adhere to the quran (cover the head and hands) or follow what Muhammed the perfect muslim did (his wives were veiled). Facial veils are prominent in Saudi-Arabia, Afghanistan and Pakistan, but are very rare in Iran."

L:It is mentioned in Surah Noor.
