Mohammed was such an egomaniac. He believed all his personal preferences and pet-peeves should be made law over all humanity, so he had his counterfeit god so decree.
Mo didn't like music. He may have been tone deaf. So this great balm for the soul is forbidden to Muslims. The formerly sane singer Cat Stevens stopped singing, playing and recording after his conversion to Islam. And when do you ever read in the papers about the next tour of the Tehran Philharmonic Orchestra?
Mo didn't like house pets either, so no dogs or cats for Muslims. I suspect Mo was allergic to pet dander; in any case, once again his personal tastes are now the law for all mankind.
We should count ourselves lucky Mo wasn't allergic to flowers or all gardens in Muslim land would now be gone. Of course, the only flowers that grow in Mecca are rocks, so this wasn't a problem.
Too bad Mo didn't have an aversion to lying, robbery, murder and rape. But it's nice to know he was insistent on the things that really count.
