If such close adherence to the prophet's life and deeds were tenable in an age after the prophet's death they wouldn't need to resurrect these practices in the first place. So I don't really care whether or not muslims have to admit that stuff is in the Koran any more than I care about the minutia of other holy texts.

Even where religion is involved the practical and the mundane will usually beat out the sacred but uncomfortable.




"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts..." -The Bard
