Those kings/queens you see ruling most of the arab nations are not following this religion.
The revolutions going on right now is a start in changing that perception.

That's right ... religion, i.e "the divine right of kings" and all of the rest of the religious bullshit that was used to justify their position of control.
So don't go there Rulloh, it's a fast road to nowhere on this forum.
Sorry ruhollah ...your ruling elite ARE following your precious religion as laid down by your precious prophet and maintained by his precious family...
As I understand it ...it is all there in your precious book. The "no-true-Scotsman' ploy won't work.
I would anticipate more suicides if I were you... just to escape the cognitive incongruences.... good luck with the revolution mate and hope to your prophet that america doesn't come and 'save' you
