the infancy gospel of thomas

>And when Jesus saw this, He said to him in a rage: Thou impious and ignorant Sodomite, what harm have my works the fountains of water done thee? Behold, thou shalt become like a dry tree, having neither roots, nor leaves, nor fruit. And immediately he dried up, and fell to the ground, and died.

They're certainly essential reading. Every Muslim able to do so should commit them to memory (in Arabic, of course.)

>He who is hostile to a friend of Mine I declare war against. My slave approaches Me with nothing more beloved to Me than what I have made obligatory upon him, and My slave keeps drawing nearer to Me with voluntary works until I love him. And when I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he seizes, and his foot with which he walks. If he asks of me, I will surely give to him, and if he seeks refuge in Me, I will surely protect him.

Amin

Westerners on Islam

>Silly 'moderate'/'fundamentalist' dichotomy
>Thumbing through a Qur'an translation or some internet articles = instant expert
>Talk about shari'ah as if it's a uniform, monolithic body of law all written down in a book somewhere
>Oblivious to extremely decentralized nature of Sunni religious scholarship; any fatwa-issuing brown man with robes and a funny hat must be some sort of Islamopope whose word is law

Don't care if you like the religion or believe in it or not, but it's usually best to steer clear of a subject if you don't really know anything about it. Just saiyan. Polite sage
