By the Light of the Falcate Moon

Dante: In the Inferno section of Dante's trilogy The Divine Comedy, Mohammed is described as being one of the "Sowers of Discord," showing his entrails to Dante and Virgil in the Eighth Circle of Hell: Inferno XXVIII, 19-42.

Consistent with medieval Christian thinking, in which the Muslim world was viewed as a hostile usurper, Dante depicts both Mohammed--the founder of Islam--and his cousin and son-in-law Ali as sowers of religious divisiveness. One popular view held that Mohammed had himself been a cardinal who, his papal ambitions thwarted, caused a great schism within Christianity when he and his followers splintered off into a new religious community. Dante creates a vicious composite portrait of the two holy men, with Mohammed's body split from groin to chin and Ali's face cleft from top to bottom (Inf. 28.22-33). http://danteworlds.laits.utexas.edu/circle8b.html#mohammed .

Muhammad in Hell; Dante's Inferno Canto 28

A cask by losing centre-piece or cant
Was never shattered so, as I saw one
Rent from the chin to where one breaketh wind.

Between his legs were hanging down his entrails;
His heart was visible, and the dismal sack
That maketh excrement of what is eaten.

While I was all absorbed in seeing him,
He looked at me, and opened with his hands
His bosom, saying: "See now how I rend me;

How mutilated, see, is Mahomet;
In front of me doth Ali weeping go,
Cleft in the face from forelock unto chin;

And all the others whom thou here beholdest,
Disseminators of scandal and of schism
While living were, and therefore are cleft thus.

A devil is behind here, who doth cleave us
Thus cruelly, unto the falchion's edge
Putting again each one of all this ream,

When we have gone around the doleful road;
By reason that our wounds are closed again
Ere any one in front of him repass.

- Dante's Inferno, Canto 28

I found this Islamic ruling at Shiva's blog. It's not well-understood by the world outside Islam that Islam is literally a total way of life. One must realize that Islam demands that one submit to Allah in every minute detail of ones life, and the best way of knowing one is doing it rightly is to follow the examples of Mohammed in his life, Mohammed being the Perfect Man, al-Insan al-Kamil.

Most people have heard of the Koran, though hardly even a few of those who have opinions about Islam have actually read it. The Koran is only one small part of the Sunna. The other parts are the Hadiths and the Sira, the sayings and doings of Mohammed as told by others to others, and the biographies of the life of Mohammed. Those who are shocked and or offended by such as the above think it's ridicule to post such things. Well, yes; but the question above is asked in good faith by a Muslima, (one hopes,) because she wants to know how Mohammed would have acted in this situation, i.e. in referring to the Ahadith and Sira, what do Muslim scholars say Mohammed did or what would he have done. Because even that, as above, is determined by the actions of Mohammed, recorded or inferred, the lady above felt it necessary to ask an imam what he would do in this case, referring, of course, to Mohammed. The questions are unending, as are life's tiny and infinite details. And all of it is guided by the Sunna, the basis of Sharia.

Malise Ruthven terms Islam an orthopraxy as opposed to other religions which are orthodoxies: Islam is a matter of right behavior; while others are a matter of right thinking. In lslam it matters deeply whether one can or cannot, as per above. You want to know about Islam? Ask the imam. He has an answer for everything, a total way of life guided in its most minute details. Nothing is up to you. You, if you are a Muslim, are to submit. Islam is a total way of life.

If you value your freedom at all, give some thought to how you'd like to live under Muslim rule. I opine that Islam sucketh. What would you like to be the flavour of your own life? If you're a Muslim you have no choice in that decision. If you're not a Muslim and don't want to be, consider how you'd like living as a dhimmi under Muslim rule, living as a slave of the Slaves of Allah. If you think tht might not suit you, think of what you might do to prevent it from happening.
