This is so because to a Muslim right and wrong, good or bad are not appraised based on their own merits. Right is what Mohammed said or did and wrong is what he prohibited. In other words, Muslims are not to judge Mohammed by norms of morality and common sense, but rather the standards of morality and common sense are to be measured by Mohammed’s deeds and words. They also have no such thing as the Golden Rule in Islam!In Christianity it is better to remain passive than to smite thy neighbor. Vengence and retribution are a way of life in the Middle east. Why dont Muslims follow the Love thy neighbor and turn the other cheek? Why because it isnt in the Quran to do so. Honor and shame motivate the Muslim not whether something is right or wrong, good or bad. Good and bad is not relevant only relevant if it has its implecations in the Quran. To murder someone if he or she defiles Muhammed is a virtue. The act of murder is but a means to reduce the insults.
