Good luck with that. If the passage of 2000 years hasnt done it, nothing will.
Well, Muhammad was born in 570 CE, so your numbers are a bit off. You might claim that 500 years is no big deal, but the Catholic church wasn't exactly a fountain of comedy when it was 1500 years old.
Yeah, I was just shooting from the hip. I figured Muhammad was probably around the same time as Jesus and since we are 2008 years after the death of Jesus...you see where this is going.
Whats "CE" mean? Same as "BC"?
So you're saying that Islam just needs a few more centuries to get their act together? I ask because I feel youve drawn a very tenuous link between how long somethings been around and how they act. It could easily be argued that atrocities commited by the catholic church were as much a product of the times (1500 AD) then they were just because the church was only 1500 years old.
