but he is spreading dangerous ideas

Dangerous ideas that no man should start

that the rich should not afload the poor,

the strong should not oppress the weak

Are these dangerous ideas?

Girls should not be forced into marriage,

but be able to choose or refuse

But only tonight, he said to stop

the burial of new-born girls

I was fortunate, always fortunate with your mother

Yes, but you know that you and I nearly never met Yassar

and you were nearly never born

I was to be buried

like my 2 sisters

but my father couldnt' do it

He couldn't do it at that time

When the second girl was buried,

when my father was putting sand over her,

finger raised him as do babies,

told her mother afterwards

she took hold of his finger the way baby does

He told my mother afterwards, that it was a minute before the tender little grip eased

and he had taken away his hand

When I was born, my father ran out of the house

screaming that he couldn't do it again,

that he could never do it again

Sumaya, it is the custom

But it is wrong

The Gods that let such things be are no Gods

I promised to go to Muhammad's house mama

and pray there

Yes! He is a good man

Yes, yes, you go

Two men are following him

Read?

Muhammad can neither write nor read

Muhammad can speak

What did you say?

He can speak? Well, so can you

So now, you speak up yound man

What does Muhammad say umm?

They are God's words, not his

Which god's? What words?

A speaking god?

Your Muhammad speaks only to himself

When god reveals his message to Muhammad,

he remembers every word and

then he tells it to those who can write

It is the Qur'an

Muhammad has starved himself into dreams,

he hides under a blanket with his eyes shut

His eyes are shut but his heart is open

You! kick him for his cleverness

There, is no need for hasts

Doesn't Muhammad realize that we live by housing

to the Gods?

We own the Kabbaah

Every year, the tribes of Arabia come here

to Mecca to pray and to buy from us

Now, were we to replace 300

gods with just one?

whom we cannot even see, was supposed to be in Taif and Medina,

here in my house, in Jerusalem, on the moon?

Where would Mecca be then?

The gods are both our vision and our revenue

You cannot buy and sell God

Young man, you are close to be whipped

Ammar, be sensible boy

I have a question

Muhammad teaches you,

a slave is equal to his master

This black Bilal, I paid money for is equal to me?

Yes Muhammad says before God all

men are equal as the teeth of a gum

This is a very pleasant idea to slaves and beggars

It gives them pretensions

Bilal! Teach this man the difference between the Lord of Mecca and a slave

Take that whip

Lash his face to teach an enormous lesson
