Re: Thread splitted from ‘Muslim anymore’ to Example of Shirk
Yeah but who made him realize the mistake he and other Muslims were making?
It was a JEW! And the prophet, along with all smart Muslims around him, didn’t realize this grave mistake until corrected by him.
**Either it’s a false hadith or he was a false prophet.

I wonder how many other “confusions” were left in the religion just because no other Jew or Christian corrected him. 
Obviously there are many left because even today Muslims just can’t figure out what exactly is shirk. They are calling each other Mushriks and ready to chop each other’s head off and capture each other’s (mushrik) women as maale ghaneemat.

By the way, did prophet thank that Jew for removing this serious confusion that could have turned Muslims towards paganism?
Looking at this hadith again:
So when a yahoodi objected then the prophet asked Muslims to say “By the God of Kaba” instead of just saying “By Kaba”.
Here some non Muslim could easily say that Islam’s prophet corrected his people but forgot to correct the same thing in the Book. Thus Quran still says “By Teen, By Zaitoon, By Toor”, etc.
