"The question that changed everything was structural. It is this: in Christianity, the founder is the standard against which the institution is measured. When the church falls short, the accusation is always: you are not living like Jesus. The standard itself is not in question. Jesus did not order raids. He did not arrange marriages with children. He did not authorize the execution of apostates. He was executed by the state, not empowered by it. Everything the church has done wrong can be measured against what #Jesus actually did and found wanting. The standard holds.

"In Islam, the founder is the standard. When you examine the primary sources and find things that trouble you, you are not finding a gap between #Islam and Muhammad. You are finding Muhammad. The hadith I cited about apostasy is not a corruption of the tradition. It is from the most trusted collection in the tradition. The Banu Qurayza massacre is not a later invention. It is in the Sira, narrated with approval by the companion who participated. The marriage to Aisha [age 9] is not a smear. It is defended by the tradition."
