I fucking despise religion

[WinterHold]

Islam itself, like all religions, is a tribal ethnic group in it's own right. More so than most as it has complete social and political structure built into it. There was an Arab monotheistic movement before Mohammeds era so it's something that emerged from that region of the world within that culture.

Zone get your facts right. There was no monotheistic movement before mohammad in the arabian peninsula, the one & only before him was Abraham's journey, and it concluded many countries & the founding of mekka, but that was some very long time ago, even for mohammad's time.
Consider the fact that there was no books at that time, any kind of knowledge was in rome, Mohammad didn't go to rome's capital, so literally he didn't receive any education.

We're also speaking about the same era of "Attila the Hun", which witnessed a raise of power to the church allover the world.

I'm trying to find a reason why mohammad would forge a new religion that unifies god & people.

If you said he did it to brainwash people into following him, then you know nothing about the medieval mind.

medieval people especially arabs weren't like us. They didn't believe in those sneaky ways, and weren't capable of managing such tricks all by themselves..especially if they don't know how to read !

Accusing mohammed of forging religion based on an older one, means mohammad can read, write, think like a modern person, knows the future, and studied the physiological condition of each arab & non arab during his time.

Carrying on the accuse means : Islam is the biggest conspiracy in the modern world after christianity..

I thought conspiracy theories are more "theoretical" more than real ? just like the Da Venci code, might be fun to read, but never carries a straight forward evidence.

They look for the holly grail to make that theory true.. you would have to search for the way mohammad used to write the Quran up.
