Yes, inexplicably to a Mohammedan mind, things that occured in the early 13th century, or in archaic times, are not treated as if they happened yesterday. Christians (and Jews) have a sense of historic change.
Do they?
Lets take the celibacy of priests as an example. Priests were once upon a time allowed to marry. Many Christian denominations today not only allow for the marriage of priests, but actually insist upon it (orthodox).
Catholics priests cannot marry, because a pope in the 13 century decreed that a priest must remain celibant. THis is but one example of Christians treating 'something that happened in the 13 century as if it happened yesterday'. THere are plenty more examples.
Jews (especially Hasidic jews) still very much live their lives according to a literal interpretation of the Torah (and Tulmud, two books written long before the 13 century). Every aspect of a hasidic's life is controlled by these two books. Even their appearance is straight out of the histories of medieval times.
Wrong again soreass...do you ever actually think before you post your dribble?

We know that for Mohammedans, time has stood still since Mohammed. This is one of the reasons they don't fit in with societies that do not treat time as frozen.
Yet there are many examples of Christians and jews, where 'time has stood still'. I wonder, is this one of the reasons why 'they don't fit in with societies that do not treat time as frozen'.
Is this why priests still insist on playing fiddlies with little boys?
