On a more serious note though, I find it disconcerting to say the least that (several if not all) even well educated muslims refuse to question what I percieve as the flawed interpretation of Allah's word by Mullahs bent on protecting their own interests...
I really doubt if Allah would have intended it this way, but the human interpretation of several of the rules is illogical...
A simple example would be calling for extermination of pagans unless they convert to Islam (this obviously human interpretation supercedes the tolerant nature of Allah)...
which brings me full circle to the original question that if Allah's rules are prone to ambiguous/incorrect interpretation, how can a set of rules (some of which , please do admit, may seem to be a little illogical at times) be rigidly applied?
What Allah said is infallible...what you and I...
The rules may indeed have been made my Allah but isn't there considerable amount of ambiguity in the current interpretation (which is done by human beings and thus the interpretation may not be infallible as compared to the actual line said by Allah)?
