I didn't say religion isn't a problem. But following Islam isn't a problem. If you follow it correctly. But who does?

Like all religions, it branches and evolves, shaping itself around cultural shifts & world events & changing theology.

There will never be a 'true Islam' - interpretations & sects have been diversifying since shortly after the prophet's death

I don't think any religion now is a true religion. Quite simply... it's about showing love and compassion and being benevolent

Its great when ppl attribute those things to religion or draw those bits from it. But this is less than half the story.

I'm less cynical than you. I think most ppl who do harm in the name of religion do so coz they think it saves people.
