[quote]Because they look at the rituals as an end in themselves. The ultimate objective being purification of the soul which is achieved through a combination of prayer, secret charity, and above all loving one another.

Muslims cannot think beyond the box. They want a set of rules by which they want to live their life, any amibiguity or difference is detested. They have become like robots. In this regard they are no different from the Jews at the time of Jesus. That is why Jesus came to remind them, its not all about the law but love as well.

I have mentioned it elsewhere as well, Muslims violate the basic command of Jesus 'Love one another'. Trust me even religious scholars are guilty of violating this command.

On the contrary, many non-religious people are some of the best I have met, and I rather asscoiate myself with them than our so called religious guides. As an instance I present the following email from a non-religious friend of mine:

Hi Junaid,

We were watching the coverage of the disaster in South-east Asia, and it is 
very sad. I see that it hit India and 10 other countries, and it doesn't 
appear that it went as far as Pakistan, but we want to tell you that we hope 
your family is OK. We are praying for everyone.

Ben
