Lashing people for saying things you don’t like has nothing to do with Islam.
You changed topic. Lashes were due to religious beliefs. Period.
An asshole that uses Islam as an excuse doesn’t indict Islam as a whole
So it’s still islam. Islam is a religion just like any other religion. Everyone interprets it differently and that’s fine. Everyone explains it differently, the way each person unferstands it, so it’s still Islam.
we could use China and the USSR to say a lot about atheism.
Atheism is not a religion in the first place. In fact, your example could be used in different way - people in China and USSR drank water and ate food. So drinking water and eating food makes us somewhat comparable to China and USSR?
