Three questions:
1. Would you, acting solely in your capacity as one of the Faithful, kill a non-Muslim for defiling one of your holy places?
2. Would you, as a Muslim, have business dealings with atheists, Christians, and Jews?
3. Are there reasons for believing in the words of the Prophet other than that they ARE the words of the Prophet? Put another way: Are the rules and dictates of Islam to be adhered to because they are good, or because they are holy?
