1. you said I've ignored @lonest. That's not true, I'm the one who told you that @lonest has ignored me.

2. Yes, this thread was more towards the church and it habit of bringing in man-made laws, which after some years will crop into the scripture (it did already) by way of NEW BIBLE VERSION, which has additions or deletions or adulteration.

3. About the colonies and world powers, you can continue narrating the story, it sounds a nice story. @Guru can catch up easily, she is not a stupid lady.

@symbol, about eating camel.

First, let me say we cannot always speak on behalf of GOD Almighty 100%. We cannot know for sure why He, allowed some things and He forbade some things.

Remember
- the lower fatty half of the cattles is also forbidden in Torah. But eating whole cow is allowed in Islam.
- Sea food with shells such as shrimp, lobster are also forbidden in Torah. But seafood is halal in Islam.
- Pork meat is forbidden in Torah. Ofcourse it is forbidden in Islam too.
- And yes, camel meat is forbidden in Torah.

Allah tells us in Quran 6:146:
"For those who followed the Jewish Law, We forbade every (animal) with undivided hoof, and We forbade them that fat of the ox and the sheep, except what adheres to their backs or their entrails, or is mixed up with a bone: this in recompense for their wilful disobedience: for We are true (in Our ordinances)."

But camel meat is allowed in Islam, and experts give the following as possible answers:
1. Maybe it was forbidden because of their disobedience
2. In the unforgiving desert of Arabia, water is scarce, temperatures unbarable can give 2nd or 3rd degree burn, camels are the only animals that could truly live and endure such environment.
3. Camels are the only animals that could travel for a very very long time (months) without water,
in the very hot desert of Arabia, and still survive and live for long years.
4. Camels were simply made for the desert and the desert people. Horses and donkies are no match. They don't even come close.
5. A camel in Arabia can serve as a horse or a donkey for transportation, travel and even wars,
and it can also serve as a cow or cattle for milk and meat. Their skin is thick and strong, and can be used for all kinds of clothing, matrices, making tents, and much more. They're also very big and thick-boned, their bones can also be used as tools and even weapons.

So it is only normal for Allah, the GOD Almighty of Mercy, to allow for the Arabs to eat camel meat for their daily needs and survivals.

Camels are truly fascinating animals. Without them, life in the desert would be virtually impossible! They're also very very strong animals.
See this youtube video how an entire car was put on a camel's back.

A car without doors, engine, wheels is hardly an "entire car", but that is a simple, stupid and unnecessary point. Forgive me for it.

Haraam (e.g) pork can become halal in exceptional circumstances.

If there is absolutely no other halal food available and the Muslim is forced by necessity e.g. he is starving, then he is allowed to eat non-halal food e.g. pork and bacon.
