Re: Muslim Blood - Cheap Commodity by Yvonne Ridley
Again, you show that you cannot understand words you read. I have never said ahadith are fabricated or unauthentic.
Quite the opposite actually, however I have shown there is quite a difference in how hadith were collected and how the Quran was compiled, which is assumed to be of the same oral process --> written form transition.
I think most ahadith probably are right on the dot. Some, however, may be misinerpreted and therefore, misrecorded. Others, are included in the sets of hadith and are quite clearly delineated in historical commentaries as dubious or weak, vs. strong; which is something the hadith collectors were quite keen on emphasizing when they were unsure of themselves. This is information that we do not use; and this is information that sets the Quran very much apart from the Hadith.
