one hundred percent of the world bases their morals on their feelings, when muslims feel the need to have sex outside of marriage, and the urge is strong enough they still do it, when they don't do it then it's because of guilt or a feeling of fear that they will burn in hell from the threats god has given them

I actually had a muslim taxi driver who was driving me to a girls house for a one night stand and he was asking me about the dating website i used, and he said oh no i couldn't do that I'd feel guilty about my wife. And i said yeh i don't blame you if you're married. And he said so what do you do just go on there put a picture up. I said yeh. He said right so that's plenty of fish right? And I'd just put that into google? And I said yeh. And he said so do i have to put all my information onto it? and do i have to put a picture up. After the whole convo was done i felt guilty and bad for his wife.

The moral of the story is muslims still obey their guilt or their urges

You are absolutely right. Fundamental morality comes from within ourselves, stems from our own feelings, this what Islam teaches anyway. We don't need Divine revelation to teach us that murder, lying, raping etc. are immoral. I'm going to be controversial and just say this: The belief in God also stems from the exact same innate subconscious human nature, our innate "moral compass". I'll leave it at that...

I meant your response was perfect, not the fact that your morality was based on it. I admire your honesty

"perception" coupled with "good will" and "logic".

Yeh the feeling of a thrill people get when they murder people is also as innate as a moral compass, that why people love playing call of duty and its one if the biggest selling computer games world wide along with grand theft auto.
People have the innate desire to beat prostitutes to death with a baseball bat also. Fact.
