Provoke? Sorry you feel that way. If asking questions and raising counter arguments is seen as provocation then I suggest we close down QL and all go home.
As for 'beating people', it was you that suggested that a punch was in order for insulting a mother so one would assume something of the same magnitude would be appropriate for something you revere more than your mother.
The practice of Islam is indeed 'newer' than the Abrahamic faith from which it is derived as I don't believe that the shaddad, the practice of emulating Mohammad's life or the five daily prayers has ever been a part of monotheistic faith prior to the 7th century.
Anyway I didn't mean to provoke, just engage in honest debate; something which is a rare commodity in this particular thread.
Peace.

not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the
many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers
were given. Satan - 10."
