Notice my title didn't state Islam makes sense, but that religion makes sense. The specific form of which religion needs an additional argument.
I didn't say you did mention Islam. I mentioned it as an example, along with Christianity and Hinduism.
It seems, that if there was a single divine religion, with a single divine being, it would be powerful and intelligent enough to get its message through clearly instead of giving rise to multiple, hostile belief systems.
Of course, there are the claims of non-interference on behalf of the deity and free will, but I would have thought that a being that was constantly interfering in the affairs of humanity up to a couple of thousand years ago might still try to calm his followers and stop them making the planet hell for everyone else.
Maybe God wants us all to have the ability to help his cause and will, and ability to have a hand to bring about a just and peaceful world.
Ultimately, the biggest help, is from his appointed Guide who will end the be the catalyst to bringing justice and peace to the world. But perhaps God wants us all the ability to help and choose in the fight of good and evil.
Logically, there is bound to be evil people that attach themselves to the true religion by name. But the love of the chosen guides is something of the heart and experiencing the unseen path of God is through their love, and that is the way to follow God.
That is a rope from God and humans, and the access to it is through the "heart" of the Soul.
