That is called habit. There are cases where maintaining the habit was destructive; there a lot more cases where stopping the habit because the reason was forgotten was deadly. With Islam, things seem to have become more and more bureaucratic. And they've had centuries to develop red tape rules. It's all very complex and the Shariah needs to be updated. Here is where not having a religious infrastructure (one leader) is a problem for them. What we're seeing now is Muslims having this debate. So far, the ones who don't want to "modernize" their law are winning because they kill (cull, erradicate) those who tend to be more moderate.

I'm sure I haven't.

I do not count the corrections that Christains enforced part of these common sense habits. Remember that Christianity is the exception.

Yes, I'm working on an idea that all this came from Paul who had a serious loveual hangup.

Who thought this? Not Jews; I don't recall Muslims going out of their way to destroy knowledge during their first thousand years nor later.

since.

YES! Why do you think I keep saying that I'm not talking about politics but readers still buttume that I am pro-Bush and I'm defending this person rather than trying to prevent messes.

Nope. It is when the two merge into one that causes a mess. Currently there are Muslims who believe that it is a holy duty to kill all non-Muslims which also include those Muslims who are moderates. In biology, when one species uses rest and destruction of another species, it will be the one to survive. We are dealing with people who have no problems killing anybody nor everybody in the world. It is a holy act to do so. They are changing Islam to be more like Chrisianity in that the purpose of life is the after life. When this purpose lauds and rewards killing everything, the world has a serious continuation of survival problem.

They aren't. Their devotees do that work. However, the tradeoffs are always towards the goal of world domination, despite the facts.

Huh? Mobs didn't overrun Rome. Rome handed their enforcement powers to non-Romans who eventually took over. The Ottoman empire did a similar thing with Janissaries who were Christain slaves. I am still trying to readjust the teaching I had in grade school and eliminate these "hordes" and "barbarians" taking Rome from an invasion.

I don't know how to write this. If you have an existing bureuacracy that works pretty well, you don't replace all the workers with people who haven't been trained. You keep the existent bureaucracy with their policies and procedures. This ensures that your rule lasts for generations. If you do replace, people get unhappy faster (because nothing works anymore and prosperity plummits into a long depression). So there are coups every couple years until one revolutionary puts things back to working the way it used to.
