I don't have a problem with the people following the religion. For hundreds of years, it was used to create a stable society and not let crime get out of control. The police force in 800AD is very different from what we have today, and the religion helped to reduce crime.
My post had very little to do with the Koran, just that you had to follow it or got sent out to the desert. There are other penalties for crimes laid out by the Koran if I remember correctly.
