well, they are americanized muslims so they are more liberal. but it's just wrong that you haven't been exposed to sufism, which is the true islam.
taoism laid it all down some ten thousand years b.c.
sufism, which begat islam, is like the middle easten version of taoism that spread to the persian gulf. taoism also begat buddhism, which in turn, along with sufism begat new testament christianity through trade routes in the ancient old world.
the judaist & islam powers-that-be resisted christianity & sufism because it would cause the people to have the power & equal rights which is a threat to their control. judaism & islam are both supremely outdated philosophies of life & religions.
