Now you claim that Muslims are robots and listen to their clergy looool. You know, I don't want to sound like im copying you, but isin't that the damn case with Christians and their church? I was involved with the various churches and denominations in America. Pentecostal, Batists, 7 day advantists and several others. They all had one thing in common, and that is "mind control". It is Christians who worship their priests, bishophs, popes, pastors, monks and whatever other leaders certain cults or denominations have. They not only pimp them for their money, because that is the main importance of the church, and they control the minds of their people. I hate to ruin your fun, but Muslims are some of the most open minded people you will ever meet, or else they could never achieve being Muslim. I don't mean Muslims by name, but I am talking about Muslims who know their deen and continue to seek knowledge just as the Quran and Sunnah encourage us to do.

We don't have priests, bishops pastrors patriacrhs or any other guys that we worship along with Allah(swt) when we profess the shahada, it is not just mere words but it means that all worship is due to the creator alone and that includes all actions and worship. There is non to be worshipped besides the ONE, and that is Islam. That was the first thing that the emperor of Ethiopia was amazed at by the Muslim refugees whom went to him for shelter. He asked them don't your prophet teach you to bow down" they said our prophet tells us to only bow to Allah". He was amazed by their actions and he ended up embracing Islam without ever meeting Muhammad and he went against his own high priests.

So, if we don't bow down to Muhammad, nor worship anyone other than the Creator, how can we be robots? we don't have priesthood, we don't have church, we don't have poes or any type of such leaderships. We have "Imams" which are nothing but "one who goes out in front and leads the prayer in a group". It can be done by any mature member and even I can do it at work or wherever else if there is a group of us and one volunteers. It's no special thing. But to further prove it to you I will quote your own Christians:

"Islam has no church, no priesthood, no sacremental system and almost no liturgy" (New Catholic Encyclopedia).

"Islam to this day has learned doctors, teachers and preachers; but it has no priests" (H.G. Wells)

"There is no centrally organized religious authority or magisterium in Islam" (Encyclopedia Dictionary of Religions).

I can go on forever quoting but the above is enough. We are not like Christianty or any other religion outhere. Islam is not based on "faith" but it is a complete way of life/system and we have Iman(belief). Our version of "Iman" is not like religions which is just based on "emotions" "faith" "hope" and "guesswork", but it is based on proof, logic and common sense. It is conformed belief and not "just faith". This is the reason why "Islam is the fastest growing faith in the world" because when people put aside their prejudices and research and seek knowledge, the evidence is ever clear. That is why people like Jumblat and other hatemongers avoid "real discussions" with real Muslims but rather attack, smere and tell lies. Why don't we each tell of out faiths and let people decide for themselves whether we are "terrorirsts" "violent" "intolerant" and we can see where the truth lies. That is what those people who have been coming to Islam in large crowds do. They research, seek knowledge and investigate with both sides of the stories. The anti Islamic stuff and they compare it with what Islam really teaches and they become shocked when they see their so called "honest men of God" are actually caught in "dishonesty".

So, we are not robots or brainwashed because we have no clergy like you have. It is you who gets all his inforomation from your village priests., and not us. I seek knowledge for myself and do it without prejudices. When you can do that, you will be set free, but you are in prison until then. If you want to remain that way go ahead, be my guest, but you are not hurting me, Muslims nor Islam. You are only ruining yourself and helping me out. Jazak Allah khayrun.
